Smile Stupid rain. . . Just spun the S.

Was driving into work and started driving into the rain/wet road on the freeway. Hit a puddle and wobbled a bit and as I was straightening up from that I hit another little puddle and the back end just swung around. Went from the left lane to the right lane and the rear quarter panel hit a corolla, then I was hit from a yukon on the drivers door that was entering the freeway. Then rolled off the freeway into a ditch. Everybody was fine, but my car was messed up the most. Front fender is buckled a little, drivers door is smashed in, rear quarter panel smashed, rear bumper smashed. Check engine light is on, and alignment is way way off. I am sure there are some bent suspension components in the rear end. No airbags went off, so I don't think it will be totaled. What do you guys think?





That silver piece on the side of the rear bumper was from a hubcap that shredded into the rear bumper after it cracked. Crazy.

You know I wasn't even rattled after it. It really didn't hurt at all. Those side bolsters and locked seatbelts really hold you in the seat. However you think its totaled? Sheesh...

That side damage looks pretty bad. Might even be a bent frame. Glad you are ok. My heart breaks every time I see something like this.

Axle might be bent, not sure. It definately drove/tracked off when I was pulling it back onto the road to get it on the tow truck. Like I said the CEL is on.

Definitely not totaled. I've seen much worse get fixed.
