Another 4runner died....

[blazingshadow]

Lucky I wasn't riding with my girlfriend when she slammed into a wall at 60mph....... She lived two broken legs, and one arm, but no internal injuries...

She is fine, for the most part, and that is whats most important. That is a miracle she survived. Bless

 

[Quentin]

Holy shit! Best of luck to the girlfriend. Hitting solid objects at that speed is no Bueno.

 

[Jeremy556]

Female driver; no survivors.

Glad she's (relatively) OK and the 4runner performed well in its final task

:jaw:

Daaaaammn!! I'm glad it was a 5th Gen and not a 4th Gen V8. THAT would have been a true death. Probably a life saver she was driving an SUV and not a car.

 

[TOY2G]

Wow man, that is a lot of displacement. Glad she walked (figuratively) away.

Sorry for your loss. Time to get the PRO I guess.


WAIT.....! That's a limited? I need your gauge cluster and NAV STAT ��

 

[tamerunner]

Man glad she made it out. That is a crazy looking mess of metal! Any other details? Was this today or has she has a few days to get sore?

 

[apollo]

oh man...so happy to hear she survived this, looks like an incredible wreck

i hope her recovery is expedient and she feels better soon

 

[st8rocks]

Is it totaled?

 

[Jeremy556]

Is it totaled?

Nah, I can fix that for like, 500 bucks.

 

[obsfsean]

Nah, I can fix that for like, 500 bucks.

All humor aside, glad to hear she survived.

 

[blazingshadow]

Cluster was toast, and you could remove the nav system while sitting in the back seat if you want a broken one... back half is all that was left undamaged.. I did smack the rear window three times with a crowbar before it would break......WEIRD!!!

 

[blazingshadow]

This was dec 20th, and after rods in her legs and arm she stood (assisted) today for the first time since the accident...:crutch:

 

[bimrunner]

Wow! So grateful that your gf wasn't hurt more.

 

[CSix]

I am very glad your GF made it through and hope she recovers fast.

My condolences on the 4Runner.

 

[Logan714]

So are you going to break up with her for trashing the truck?

 

[Bimmer-Bob]

Wow - glad to hear your GF survived, and relatively unscathed (considering). How the heck did she hit a wall at 60 mph, though?

I wouldn't call this a miracle, so much as marvelous engineering. The crumple zones did what they were supposed to do. A quarter century ago there would have been a lot more cabin intrusion, and likely a much more tragic outcome.

Hope she gets well soon!

 

[MGMTacoLover]

It is good your girlfriend got out alive!!! But how in the world did she hit the wall at 60 mph?

 

[txbonds]

Damn, that's not going to buff out. Glad she was relatively okay and hope she recovers fully. Very sorry for you guys. Seeing those pictures makes me hurt.
