Default Bad Day :-(

Making a long story short a lady driving a Ford Escape pulled out from between traffic in front of me and I t-boned her pushing her car into a Lincoln MKX that was sitting still in traffic. My girlfriend and I were in the car as well as our two dogs and luckily all of us were fine as well as everyone else involved. I was supeised that the airbags did not go off though. Here are pics of the car now :-(

It's great to hear you are both OK! I hate to see the car looking like that but it looks to be repairable I think.

why would you want the airbags to go off in that collision. would have caused injuries that otherwise didnt occur anyways

Glad you are all ok. Man wrecks are the WORST. Hopefully the insurance will do you right so you can get er fixed and make a few bucks :-)

Looks like the bumper is just loose. Collect insurance, put bumper back, buff out scratches, pocket cash. Not serious enough for airbag deployment. Gl

Not an airbag worthy accident.
Very happy to hear you and your cargo was okay. Could have been worse and it has been worse.

Glad everyone was okay! That accident wasn't too bad, you should be happy the airbags didn't go off in this case they can be more of a hassle for less serious accidents like this where the car probably wouldn't be totaled. Looks like it will be an easy fix though, i'm sure they will just replace the front bumper and anything else damaged and be done.
