Default Accident!!!!!!

Had a guy make an illegal left hand turn in front of me. I was going about 35 and he was going 45+. Hit him so hard he did two 360's and ended up at the other end of the intersection. Just like the insurance institute tests, I hit him offset drivers side. Sherrif said the actual impact speed was probably 70mph from seeing where he ended up. Wasted my fenders hood both airbags basically the whole front end but amazingly did not intrude the engine compartment or the occupant area. Took $9600 to repair it. I really thought it was the end of me and the car. Let me tell you the S2000 is rigid and really showed it strength. Yea, I am sore and have had some neck and back pain but I'm here and in one piece.

Yes, they fixed it. I was a bit hesitant on at first but saw the car once it was striped down and was amazed with the integrity of the frame.

A mid 90's toyota sedan, can't be sure because the paramedics took me out on a flat board but just as a precaution.
I hit his car right on the rear axel.
