My daughter and 15y granddaughter and 8y grandson were in a vehicle accident yesterday. She was driving to her son’s birthday party and a F150 tried to cross 4 lanes of hiway in front of them and she t boned him at 65 mph. Hitting him in back door and rear tire. The driver blamed the sun except it was behind him. He was heading east at 430pm. He was not hurt.
My family is ok other than airbag scuff marks and fat lips and bloody nose. Everyone is very lucky. The 4 Runner she was driving completely collapsed in the front end. It performed as designed. Of course they were shook up and my son-law says she will be driving another 4 Runner after seeing what the vehicle looked like and them walking away from it.
I just thank god I still have them after this.

We have Life 360 on our phones and I got the “Crash Alert” immediately after the collision. I could pinpoint their location and head there.
Recommend if you have families.
 
I bet I responded to T/A at least once a day for the 20 years I was on the job, might have missed a few days in there but damn, people crash a lot. To walk away from a hi-speed Tbone collision is remarkable. Somebody had guarding angles looking out for them for certain. So glad they are relatively unscathed.
 
So glad to hear that everyone is ok.
All of your loved ones are truly blessed.

Glad to hear that no one was seriously hurt. Yes, thank goodness for modern engineering and good luck.
 
Glad everyone is OK.
Some people shouldn’t have licenses. I see enough lousy driving each day going to work.
 
Also grateful that everyone is OK...though they'll be feeling it more tomorrow.
Airbags and seatbelts really do save lives!
Not to mention the crumple zones in our newer vehicles, as compared to those just 3 or 4 decades ago.
Glad Susan has a 4Runner to drive around!
