i wish i could have got some better pics but my battery died on my camera. the entire passenger side is gone from the rear window up and i think the engine shifted about 3 inches towards the driver side
That totally sucks ... sorry to see that happen to your car.

Dang, sorry to see that, but as said, at least you walked away. Hope all goes well for you and your recent "challenges" cease.

happened friday on my way home from work. i was in this old woman's blind spot while she attempted to change to the inside lane of the highway where i was. i'm like WTF and jerk the car to the left and overcorrected to the right and tires broke loose from the pavement and the rear end went left then right until my car was facing sideways into oncoming traffic still going about 30. i then get t-boned by a truck and SUV until i hit the gaurdrail in front of me. the whole passenger side of the car pretty much exploded and glass from the windshield came in and cut up my left hand and the center console smashed into my right hip. i think the passenger side mirror ended up in my lap. there was dust and glass and smoke everywhere. just a good thing i didnt have a passenger b/c i dont think they would have survived. that and i only ended up with bruises. also didnt have my other wheels on for the summer( 40 cm wider then stock)--wonder if that would have prevented the accident. and i guess the insurance company probably wont cover my blower , although i did remove all the intact pieces.

That sucks..I've been in similar situations on teh freeway (someone doing like 60 in a 65 I go to pass them at 70-75) and they wander over to my lane. I hate to say it but at those speeds I would just let them hit me. At least that way they're not going anywhere either and there's less likely to be blame laid on you because it's just a 'one-car' wipeout.
Glad you're okay at least.

oh i didnt walk away. first they had just sitting in the driver's seat of my car and i was ready to get up and go-so i deferred the ambulance to the hospital and just figured i would have someone take me there later that night. so once the ambulance was gone with someone else that rearended one the vehicles that t-boned me, i attempted to get up. got light headed and there was this extreme pain in my hip and felt like i was going to faint. firefighters helped over to a police car and took my blood pressure. it was seriously low so they called an ambulance, but it couldnt get there soon b/c there was massive traffic build up b/c of my accident. so they called a helicopter, and thats how i got to the hosipital. they did some xrays, found nothing, and gave me some crutches b/c of massive bruising to the muscle inside my right hip. oh that other woman who rearended one of the vehicles that hit didnt have life threatening injuries

Well glad you were able to fly away from that accident ok. It just goes to show, if that was 45 mph, imagine 90mph+
