Default The Lex is all smashed up :(

Not a kill or racing thing, but this is the only place i post here. I just got into a pretty bad accident on the way to a potential client.

I got nailed in an intersection, whole front is in shambles, somehow the airbags didnt deploy. Other two guys got ambulanced out, i was fine but i broke my hand on the steering wheel. I think the guy might have run a red light but im not sure, he came out of nowhere.

i'm ok tho but i'll keep you guys posted on the car... i have a feeling it's gonna be a total loss. guess my car shopping may come sooner as opposed to later, but we'll see. say a prayer for those other two guys, they got it worse than i did.

the other two guys? they were in the other car that ran the red light?

Glad to hear you made it out at all though. T-bones are SCARY....there's not a lot of space between a 30-50 mph 3500lb car and your body (that is, if it was a driverside impact)

Thanks guys!

Upside: My company is paying for an 08 CTS rental for unlimited time to get fixed or 30 days until i get a new car!! Free test drives ftw! This is one of the cars i was considering so i'm happy with it.

Glad to hear everyone is alright. The thing with the airbags is weird, my friend totaled his IS300, rolled the damn thing after slaming into the divider at a 90 degree angle and the airbags didn't deploy.
