Default rear ended...

Rear ended at a stop light this a.m. sandwiched into another car. Praise God for full metal vehicles! Truck that hit me was towed off, and car I was shoved into left a big pile of plastic pieces on the road.

Hopefully everyone is safe. Vehicles and parts can be replaced. On the bright side...you can probably score some good aftermarket bumpers.

Hope all involved are OK and hopefully a new front and rear bumper is in your future!

I drove off under my own power. Was hit by a chevy avalanche. Front and rear bumpers are toast, as is the grill and tailgate. Doors on passenger side don't quite close right. However my kids are fine, which is the important part.
