This is what's left of my sons car.
My wife was driving to work when a car on the opposite side of the road was hit up the arse and was shoved across the road into Ferne.

That is not good Tony

I trust all in her car are not injured.
Metal can be repaired or replaced but flesh and blood needs looked after!

yeah hit her on the drivers front wheel and pushed it against the firewall denting the floor/bulkhead by the throttle pedal,
ripped the lower arm mounts clean out the chassis,
snapped the front strut spring and pushed it through the front tyre,
bent the drivers side driveshaft,
ripped the strut top mount out the inner wing,
