I hope you have been to the doctor for a documented exam. Your health can go downhill later and you will be thankful to have a doctors report if you run into any issues. DO NOT OVERLOOK THIS, PLEASE!

Did you tell the first responder that you wanted to see a lawyer and a doctor in that order.

I'm going in the morning.

The was no first responder. Just a civilian crash investigator. 911 told us to move the vehicles and wait. Police ticketed the at-fault driver. I will reach out to my lawyer.

Does the hatch still open and close?

Not without power tools it won't.

A 2008 Rav4 going ~45mph.

The result of texting and driving?

It's what we assume.

 

[wwillson]

It's what we assume.

My former employer had a zero tolerance policy for texting and driving, DUI, reckless driving and 3 or more moving violations in two years. You get shown the door and forever barred from working for the company again. It didn't matter if it was on company time or personal time. They don't put up with driving non-sense period.

I wish there were a lot more companies with the same policy.

Glad to hear no serious injuries .
Looks like some serious damage and frame bending went on back doors look to be misaligned at the top .
Probably a write off ?

A little PDR and you'll never know it happened.
Get a lawyer. You could have injuries that become more difficult with time.
