Got rear ended today on 71 northbound near Pomona

Man you where hit hard. Thank god, or the Prius, you are all alive! How did the car get past you? I'm afraid your car will be a write off. H

 

Yes thank God!. A Christmas gift for sure that there were not more serious injuries.

 

Wow glad your ok. You know when you get hit hard from behind when the airbags deploy.

Lots of people here on pc have been rear ended myself included.

I was at a light and watched helplessly as a car flew up from behind and nailed me. I could see as he was approaching he was looking down. 60 year old guy texting.

I wasn't hit half as hard as you as still ended up having back surgery.

When the insurance companies call for the "recorded statement" and they will very very soon say nothing. Say see my attorney.

I got a good attorney and I suggest you do the same. I felt fine for days than all of a sudden I was in bad pain.

It takes a while for things to happen to your body after a wreck.
And you got hit pretty hard there.

No statement

Get an attorney.

Good luck to you and your family.

 

Glad you're ok. Sad to see a fellow blizzard bite the dust. This happened down the street from where I work in chino off the 71/60

 

I'm glad you and your family appear to be OK!

THAT'S the important thing...you can get another Prius.
I hope that you don't have any post accident issues, other than trying to decide what color/type the replacement vehicle will be!

You've probably already got a kitchen tabletop full of business cards from your local attorneys - and so I'll leave the legal pontifications up to them.
Get a good rental, enjoy the Christmas season, and worry about the car thing next year!

GOOD LUCK!
Merry Christmas!!

 

Get a lawyer, let him do the worrying for you!!!

 

Glad to hear nobody was injured. In the end, that's the only part that matters. It's a bummer though.

Good luck with the repairs, etc. It will all be a memory soon enough!

Sorry to hear/see that, but glad to hear everybody's OK.

 

Glad there were no serious injuries and I think we can thank both vehicles with their inbuilt safety features for that. Not just seat-belts, child restraints and airbags but 2 cars designed to absorb impact energy in the front and rear but remain rigid in the passenger compartment.

Most of the mass in the Prius in in the front with heavy sub-frame and drive train components concentrated in the front so the force of a rear impact puts tremendous strain on the passenger cage. Even after a big hit the doors still open proving Toyota did a good job engineering a strong occupant cage. Seat-belts, airbags and child restraints work in conjunction with this strong cage to secure the safety of occupants in this type of collision. The Ford has also performed as designed, safety catches on the hinges prevented the bonnet from entering the passenger compartment while the front crush zone absorbed considerable energy. The windscreen is intact and the passenger cage appears uncompromised.

2 well designed vehicles doing as designed in a crash. Thank ****** for vehicle safety standards and safety ratings.

(****** varies depending where you live)

 

great news that your family is fine. sorry to read about what happened to your car. with the amount of rain thats been coming down the past couple of days in so. cal you would think ppl would drive slow and safe. WRONG! driver of that green car better have some damn good insurance.

 

wow a CT on an infant.. that's a lot of x-rays

 

Wow sorry to hear about the accident...glad everybody is okay.

Bigger car...why? I think the Prius protected you guys just fine...The Prius isn't really a little car...

 

It is sad when so many people believe that a midsize passenger car is not safe enough to carry a baby, yet many of them drive their babies around in vehicles that are exempted from passenger car safety standards.

 

Sorry to hear about the accident. I was actually going to take the 71 yesterday but it was closed due to flooding on mission blvd.

Glad nobody is seriously injured...

 

Glad to hear that you & your family is OK.....

Merry Christmas !!!!!!!

 

Yep. It's sad that a big reason people do buy large gas guzzling suv's trucks is why you said. Alot of them are saying thier lives are way more important than everyone elses so they will have a 2,000lbs advantage in a crash, so because of that they will be likely to have less chance of getting hurt/killed in a accident, but will have alot bigger chance of killing/hurting other people and they have no second thoughts about this.
