A cell phone destroyed my car...

Wife and I went out for lunch on Saturday, we were at the end of a line of cars stopped for a red light at a intersection when this Chevy Blazer plows into the rear of our car, no brakes at all. He must of been doing at least 30 ~ 35mph. We were both shaken up with back and stomach pain and taken to the Hospital for eval. Lucky no lasting effects??? The other driver had 2 kids with him, He was cited for using his Cell phone, causing the accident.
At 1st I was just shaken but now I'm mad at how stupid some people are.
I just hope the Car is totaled. The pictures really don't reflect how bad it looks in person. I walk away from this with a better appreciation for my family and how things can change in a flash.

Dave, I'm so sorry. What a bastard! I'm glad you and your wife are ok. I hope that guy gets hammered by the cops. Best of luck replacing your awesome ride...

Oh no! I hope you and your wife are OK, Dave! What a shame about your new S4 too. Such a beautifully spec'ed car. Just too many idiot drivers out there that don't have a clue what they're doing and have no respect for the 2 tons of steel they're operating.

Glad you're ok. It's scary out there on the road. People texting, eating, and not paying attention while driving.

Dauym Dave, those quarter panels are smashed forward so hard, their buried under the rear doors... probably bucked the roof as well. Make it a total.

Glad you and your family are alright... it could have been worse, but I think we can all appreciate the anger you must be feeling about now

Wow, what a bummer. Hope it's a total loss and the driver gets punished.

sorry to hear, hope you get lucky and the insurance calls it a total loss. They fixed mine and the trunk never really fit right.
