I got hit from Behind!!

Yesterday afternoon i was on the 91 W going to the 605 N when traffic stop expect for the ladies that slammed into me. I'm ok except for begin a little sore in a few places, so this is actually my first accident so i wasn't sure what to do.

I'm lucky i have a friend that works fro AAA and guided me through this. Here some pics from my camera phone, by the way the lady rental of a ford zx2 totaled couldn't any pics of it cause the tow truck came and took it off the road pretty fast.

yeah I totally agree, very lucky that the spoiler is not damaged.

for the meantime, get some rest and start looking for a reliable autobody shop.

hope to see some pics when your car gets fixed.

Good thing you didn't hit the person in front of you.

Value bumper + mild impact = ^&&*$+^*&^#*^*#&^

Good to hear you are ok. You car survived the impact pretty well considering that Ford you said is totaled. A good body shop should be able to fix the car good as new.

That's suck! Lots of TL got into accidents lately, especially around So Cal area. Glad your trunk is ok without damage, especially the spoiler. Love your spoiler at the last meet in the Block. It's a good news that you are somewhat ok. My recommendation is to go to the doctor/chiropractor to check out anyway doesn't matter how little hurt you feel. It's better to check out and make sure it's just a sore muscle due to flashback rather than anything worse. It seems that the other party is at fault so your insurance will take care of everything. If you have AAA, then it's a plus. Had a really good experience with AAA for my last 2 accidents. Good luck!
