Thank you Toyota and RIP 4Runner
Was hit by a guy blowing through a red light at 45-50mph. Every airbag deployed and frame snapped in half but the truck did its job and I walked away unscathed. Time to start looking for a tundra.....I will post images once I can figure out how to do so

Wow that's pretty amazing. Were you the only person in the car? Also what happened to the person that hit you?

We are from Gaithersburg too! (not too far from the Post Office)
Glad to hear you're ok though. The car can be replaced, you can't!

Guy was driving a 2013 jeep wrangler rubicon with two small kids; all walked away unscathed thank God. He clipped my front passenger side and spun me so hard I hit him in the back on his way by. Scary but could have been a lot worse. Paid it off 2 days ago...…

There's a few ways to do it but they require accounts. If you have a facebook, you could upload it there and then grab the link of the photo (if it is shared to the public)

Once you hit submit pic will be posted.
He was probably on the phone. Sucks that you just paid it off. Get a lawyer.

That looks pretty gnarly.
Yeah, I'd get a lawyer if I were you. I don't like to litigate, but if I had just paid mine off I'd be 'out for blood'.
Above all, if you can walk away from that, it's a good day.

You don't need a lawyer. Do it yourself.
I was rear ended a few months back, my brand new car was totalled.
I submitted my own claim, typed up my own demand letter, and got 15K from the other driver's insurance company. They paid off my car too obviously.
Point is, don't get a lawyer. They keep like 30%.
Glad you're ok.
