Exclamation JUST GIT REAR ENDED

Driver of a Camry appears to not have been paying attention rear ended the car behind me who in turn rear ended me. I think healthwise I'm ok and so is the guy behind me. Pics to follow soon.
Brand new diffuser is gone along with rear bumper. Waiting on state patrol to arrive

Waiting to go for xray. Happened on 85/75 southbound approaching 17th street.
Was supposed to be driving up to Chicago tonight for fam stuff.
Mufflers appear intact although I can't be too sure since the diffuser came off with the lower piece of the bumper. Thanks for the sympathy guys. Will keep u guys posted.
While laying down here I need to start figuring out which shop ill use for the paintwork that will be required and also someone to check to make sure the frame is intact

Sorry to hear about that. Your car can get fixed. Hope your injuries arent that bad. My wife got rear ended while stopped at a stop light that was red by a lady in a Chevy Tahoe behind her. Damages came out to $4980. There was frame damage to the car. That has been fixed.


But my wife still has neck/back problems 2 months later from the accident. Finished up on PT. Day of the accident nothing. Next evening back spasm, tightness and couldnt pick up/lift our 2yr old son weighting 37lbs. Document every pain, injury you have what time, what it feels like.

Gotta love the play by play!

I'm glad you went to get medical attention. The best thing you can do is get some rest and you will feel it tomorrow after your body tightens up. When my CLK got rear ended 2 years ago, my body tightened up as the cop was doing the police report. However, I am older than most of you guys so the tightening up is a given. Get some pain meds and you should be ok, unless the docs find something. Go to PT as it will help, even though it is a PITA and takes time out of your day.

My condolences on the ride.

If you make it to Chicago and still need an x-ray I can shoot you with one of the few I'm testing in my shop!

Damn Yaw-
We were just talking a few days ago about how hard it was to get that difuser hooked up just right and in a few seconds, off it comes. Hope you are OK. Car can always get fixed.
You know my wife is a personal injury lawyer, so PM me and she can speak with you. No problems there.
As for paint, get hold of Greg or Jason at BIP and they can get you hooked up with their paint guy. He is the one that touched my car up on the front and sides as well as the calipers and did all the work on FASN8N's pieces.
If you need any help with anything, just let me know.
Good Luck.

That's like the guy that Tweeted that he was just in a plane crash.... More commitment than I've got.
