Yikes.  Glad you are ok

[D-Day]

Your fault, busted tail light. 

Stay well, and hug those most important to you.

 

[ZenMaster]

Wow. Glad you're OK. 

 

[shadyridr]

holy crap, thank god nobody was in the back seat

 

[NutterButter]

You're going to need a new rear quarter panel

 

[avoiding injuries]

Yowzers! You're destined for something. Don't f**k it up. 

 

[OrtonToOlsen]

JFC  glad you're ok

 

[GroveDiesel]

Wow. Any injuries involved? 

That situation is the one that makes the most nervous when I'm driving. Seeing someone coming up in me fast while I'm sitting at a light scares the crap out of me. Especially when my daughter is in the back seat.

 

[BroncoFreak_2K3]

That is freaking nuts.  Glad you are OK!!!

 

[Buzzbait]

Someone was watching over you. Amazing that you're OK given the damage.

Was the driver who hit you texting? I don't know how you plow into someone who's stopped like that unless they simply weren't paying any attention.

 

[AAABatteries]

This.  Damn - glad you are ok.

Or passed out, or dead or a lot of things

Glad you're okay dude.

 

[AcerFC]

I read the comments before opening the picture. I was not prepared for that. Glad you are ok

 

[RBM]

Holy crap what did that feel like?  Did you see him coming in the mirror or totally off guard?

 

[Peak]

Glad you're ok man.  Looks like a Prius that was ripped apart like confetti.

My wife drove a prius and one day I decided to stay home with the kids and told her to take my SUV.  That afternooon she was in a similar accident as yours - some guy in a larger SUV driving well above the speed limit who didn't stop in time.  My SUV was totalled.  All I could think of was how lucky she was to not be driving her Prius.  The image you shared is what I imagined would've happened to her.  

 

[Chemical X]

next time, don't wait for traffic.

 

[avoiding injuries]

Other driver?

 

[In The Zone]

 HFS

Glad you're OK.

 

[coyote5]

woah.    :trainwreck:

....blasted from behind...

NSFW?

 

[coyote5]

WTF?  we lost the trainwreck emoticon?

 

[OrtonToOlsen]

WTF?  we lost the trainwreck emoticon?

Pretty sure it was a car.

 

[ChiefD]

Holy ####. Glad you are ok.

Send that pic to Toyota and tell him you lived to tell about it. You'll be famous and they will probably reward you with a pigeon meal with all the fixin's. 

 

[Godsbrother]

I'm not a mechanic but you may need to get a new car.

BTW Glad you're okay!

 

[RokNRole]

You could probably buff that right out

 

[Buzzbait]

You could probably buff that right out

Maybe if your old man was a television repairman & had an ultimate set of tools.

 

[ydoc]

the good news....no broken bones...

the bad news...my golf clubs and push cart are history.... :(  

 

[Limp Ditka]

WTF?  we lost the trainwreck emoticon?

it was never :trainwreck:,  

 

[Joe Summer]

A little bondo will clean that up nicely.

 

[shadyridr]

the good news....no broken bones...

the bad news...my golf clubs and push cart are history.... :(  

Those can all be reimbursed

 

[mr roboto]

Seriously. Holy ####. If there was a kid in that back seat though...

 

[ydoc]

Those can all be reimbursed

yep...3 cars ultimately involved and i don't think the other 2 had major injuries...

 

[Arizona Ron]

Clearly this was just a scam to get a new pair of clubs. 

 

[ydoc]

Clearly this was just a scam to get a new pair of clubs. 

it is quite possible i never play again due to injuries...but new clubs will look nice hanging in the garage...

What injuries?

 

[GroveDiesel]

What injuries?

Probably lots of $oft ti$$ue injuries.

But in all seriousness, whiplash and back injuries from something like this are almost guaranteed. 

 

[MikeIke]

Relax, my dad's a television repairman. He's got this ultimate set of tools. I can fix it!

 

[IvanKaramazov]

That photo seems like kind of a metaphor for the Cardinals' season.

Seriously though, that's pretty scary.  Glad you're okay.  Hope the other driver gets his license revoked.  How the hell can you rear-end somebody at that kind of speed?

 

[CletiusMaximus]

What injuries?

Reminds me of our intramural basketball team in law school - YMBIANEKI* (pronounced, "Yambye-anecki")

*You Might Be Injured And Not Even Know It

I was #5 in a moderate speed 6 car pile-up a few decades ago.  I had stopped inches behind #4, but looked in my mirror to see #6 coming hard enough to knock me into #4  To this day, when I brake suddenly, my eyes still shoot to the mirror and I tense up.

ydoc, glad you're OK ...hopefully you didn't see it develop in your mirror.  Take good care!

yep I was rear ended once pretty bad (not as bad as above) and had post traumatic stress for months at every traffic light.

 

[GroveDiesel]

Reminds me of this video Truck crash

 

[FreeBaGeL]

You're going to need a new rear quarter panel

Can probably just pop it out.

I was in a similar situation but slower speeds of about 35 mph.  I saw in my rear view mirror a car approaching fast and not preparing to stop so I quickly moved to the passing lane.  The car locked up its brakes and stopped in the space where I would have been and missed hitting the car in front of him.

Seriously though, that's pretty scary.  Glad you're okay.  Hope the other driver gets his license revoked.  How the hell can you rear-end somebody at that kind of speed?

Especially in what looks like perfect weather, no rain, no snow, no ice. Understanding that in those conditions you should slow down anyway!

Hope everything is OK, ydoc.

I don't have an old man

 

[MaxThreshold]

Holy ####, dude!  Thank god you're on here able to tell us about it.  Glad you're okay!
