Wow - incredible minimal amount of damage for 50+ mph head-on. These pix are a great testament to this car's safety.

I am very sorry for your loss! Is your wife okay?

Can the car be repaired or is it a total loss?

Are you going to part out the car?

1ST wifey is OK sore and pissed but she is fine, literally walked away witha sore knee and some generl soreness form belts and airbag impact. Passenger was the same only with some swelling to her left knee. Both ckecked out at Hospital with painkillers and bedrest.

Things of note, the engine remained on even after the collision. The DPS officer actually drove the car off of the freeway, about 30Ft into the median. Drivers door opened freely, passenger door needed some force but opened. There was no intrusion whatsoever into the passenger compartment.

The estimate has not been done but they are guessing 20K before they tear it down. We are hoping to convince them to total it. If not we will be asking for about 15K in dimished value as we feel the car is unmarketable after this near catastrophic hit,

That's good that your wife and her passenger are okay!

You let someone else drive the car?!

Good luck getting the money! I've never been in that situation, but I'm sure insurance companies are very stingy!

Wow, just insane. I'm glad to hear that all inside were ok. The E sacrificed its life to save theirs. Any lesser car might not have been so capable.

Curious to know if you have any pictures of the interior airbag deployment.

Yes, she was northbound on 101 just north of the 60 approaching the Broadway underpass when the gentleman lost control in front of her and she broadsided him as he past perpendicular to the direction of travel in front of her.

My God! My two daughters travel daily on the 101 and not a day goes by that I don’t worry. When I travel myself down from Scottsdale to MBOC it amazes me how these people actually got their license in the first place. Most have newer vehicles, most likely equipped with cruise control, yet they either refuse or do not know how to operate it. It is my opinion that the local nightly news should remind these a-holes that if they used their cruise control the traffic would flow easier, darting in and out because of drivers traveling below the speed limit would decrease, and everybody would get better gas mileage. Also, we need to get a bill passed to install “Slower traffic stay to right” signs, on our freeways.

Kentucky is the only state that gets it right. Their signs say 'Keep Right Except to Pass'. Letting people decide if they are slower traffic doesn't work.

I see the "cup" holder is open. Perhaps she was trying to put a cup into it at the time ?

It was a 2000 toyota 2wd compact pickup. She did have a drink in the holder at the time of the accident and it flew out of the holder during the collision.

Sorry to hear about the incident and fortunately only loss to the car mostly. Main thing is wife and passenger are OK. Car held up very well. I notice all the windows are down, is that something the Es do after impact strong enough to deply airbags?
