I am glad that you can safely get out the car and take picture. Man, if this is an Civic or something, you might be in the ER already.

I hope your car is total......

what intersection is this? glad your ok! i just got my bumper fixed at Vieta, wicked job good service, but i guess it depends on where abouts you live. good luck dealing with ICBC, hopefully they'll let you write off your car, and hopefully you paid that clause in your insurance that gives you full value for your car.

OUCH! It hurts to look at all these crashed IS pictures lately. Why is it so many people are getting into accidents with the IS?

Thank God for airbags.

because IS drivers are always first to the light! so they get hit by red light runners and silly U-turners. AND rear ended by people approaching the light! simple!

did you have any injury? looks bad! where did the other car hit you? front and rear look good!

Totaled, awesome that you're ok considering the amount of damage. Time to take the insurance check and upgrade to an 08!

Yes I agree.. Without the side curtain, my head would've went straight through the window and into the pole. I never actually saw the other person, so don't know about his insurance. I stayed inside my car until the fireman helped me out through the passenger side, and stayed inside the ambulance to have the medics check me out. When I got out, other driver already left (after talking to the cops I was told).

It's at Burrard and Broadway. I heard about Vieta, but those guys are pretty busy. Someone recommended Fraserview Collisions to have my car damages estimated there... I'll probably hear back from them tomorrow...

Wow! Car's done, but all and all she held up pretty darn well for what she went through! Sister rolled my ole' Civic in the Okanagan and it didn't have a single peice on it that wasn't damaged. Good luck dealing with ICBC. I've heard it can be troublesome.
