June 16, 2012: Mercedes-Benz saved my life
On my way home from Temecula headed westbound on the 91 Freeway, I got involved in an accident just 1 mile before the State College Blvd exit.

Safe to say, my Mercedes kept me safe.

From looking at the tire marks as well as the damage on your car, I'm baffled at how this happened? Did someone cut you off at like 100 km/h or something?

Nice to see the C class is durable, looks like a pretty hard hit.

Dang Juno! I hope you're okay man! It pains me to see your car this way, but a car is something that can always be replaced! If it isn't too soon to ask though, what happened!? That driver's side fender and wheel are just completely gone D:
