This is the second Acura that has been totaled on her by someone else not paying attention. the first was a 97 tl over ten years ago.

Yesterday she was driving and a guy in a 93 exploder didn't stop at a stop sign and rolled through it and probably hit her around 20-30 mph.
He spun her car around. When she came to a rest she tried to get out of her driver side door but as you'll see in the pics, that wasn't possible. She crawled out of the passenger side door.

He said that it was all his fault and he didn't even see her.
It was about 10:30 am, cloudy but not dark and it was a very open area where there are no obstructions.

She took a ride to the hospital a she passed out afterwards from seeing the bllood from a few scrapes on her forehead. She was sitting in the passenger seat when she did.
She suffered a concussion and all x-rays and mri were clear.

She is doing ok but her neck is really stiff.

She is very lucky that the car is well built. I was running about a half an hour from the hospital so the ride there was nerve wracking.

I hope none of you ever get a phone call from paramedics about a loved one being taken away in an ambulance. At least they had the experience to say that she was fine as the first thing they say.
I am a very lucky husband to still have his wife ok after something that really shook her up.

She now gets my 09 tsx, but she really loved that car and knows that things can be replaced.
It will be totaled. This is a testament to the safety that goes into these cars and i thank acura for this.












yes, that is a seat bolster

 

Glad shes safe!

 

Ouch - that definitely is a direct hit right to the driver's door! I'm very glad your lady is okay. Acura - doing it's job with safey and performing as designed.

 

x 3.







Oh, and that'll buff right out.

 

Glad she is ok, sucks to lose something that you love, but cars can be replaced!

 

damn. sorry to hear. glad that mrs. dallison is ok. make sure she goes to PT for her neck. that kind of stuff can become chronic if not taken care of.

i've seen a lot of totaled acura's on here. and they certainly keep their owners and their passengers safe. i think there was only one story that happened up in baltimore where the one of the two kids in the rear seat died from a rear ending (they were at a complete stop, jeep cherokee at 70 mph slammed into the back on them).

 

I think Honda in general just build such safe cars across the board & it shows even more in the Acuras.

Glad your wife is ok.

 

Glad she is safe, agree on Acura being a safe car too.

 

That sucks! Glad everything is OK.

 

Glad she's okay.

 

acura do make safe cars.

 

Thank God she is alright-sorry to see this happened....especially around the holidays, you count your blessings.

 

Thank God your wife is OK. At least the striking moron admitted fault. Yet another reason my son and wife will continue rolling in Honda/Acura products no matter what I drive.

I'll be the first person indelicate to say it, though.....car shopping time! The only only silver lining to such an awful event.

 

Glad your wife is okay. The car did its job.

 

if you look at the latest safety tests, acura and volvo were the only ones to get the best ratings.

 

Glad your wife is OK...that would be scary for sure.

 

great to hear that she was safe!

 

Glad to hear she's ok.

 

The holidays may be a little inconvenient but still happy. Hope your wife wasn't hurt too bad.

 

Wow, glad to hear she's doing fine.

 

i am looking for end of the year deals....





Thanks all, we are very lucky. Trigirl, i will tell her about pt.

 

End of the Year deals are my favorite. Only ever bought 1 car this way (helped my mom into a Nissan Altima), but every year the incentives are tempting and make me want to go shopping!

 

Nice thats she's ok. Now sue!!!

 

omg... i can't believe the state of the car... i'm glad the mrs is ok... hope to a speedy recovery during the holidays...

on a brighter note, now that she gets your tsx, whats next on your list?

 

Wow. Glad she is ok.

 

Yikes! Like everyone else, I'm very glad your wife is ok! I can't imagine how it would feel to receive a phone call like that.

 

Like everyone else said, so glad your wife is ok, and as you said, cars can be replaced. Really amazing to see how incredibly well designed cars are now-a-days to absorb impacts like that.

 

So happy to hear that she is safe!

 

Great to hear the mrs is doing well.

 

Glad she's doing well! Car took quite a hit!

 

Good to hear that she was alright after that. They definitely are well-made. My CL had similar side damage, as well as front end, when I got into the accident that totaled it. It didn't have side airbags, but the door beam kept it rigid enough to keep me OK.

 

Most likely another tsx. But, i think the 2013 tl might be a good option since they don't seem to be moving. The rdx was another, but there aren't any incentives for the 2013.

I had my eye on a 2011 mb c300 but i'm not sure of reliability. I want to stay under 25-28k otd.

 

can't go wrong with another Acura!

 

Thank goodness the Lady is ok. Modern cars are remarkable at absorbing impacts.

 

Scary stuff, glad the injuries were minor.
Good luck with the car search.

 

Very happy to hear she is ok. I wish her a swift recovery!

 

Glad to hear she is ok.

Now go do the right thing and buy her something German. :wink:

 

 

Holy shit. Glad Mrs. D is OK. I'm sure she is a but shaken.

 

Thank the Lord she's ok. .....seeing so much tragedy all around, good to see a happy ending!!

Back to the more fun topic, I'm still not feeling the style of the 4G TL but it's not ugly enough to deter me if I were to come across a great deal particularly given its slight refresh. I say that could be the move.
