    IMG_0999.JPG I was with my family in our 2007 Prius and heading out of town on the Labor Day weekend when we were caught in stopped highway traffic, I was in the fast lane of a four lane hwy. To my shock a tandem axle dump truck did not want to stop and I seen him approaching me in the rear at a high rate of speed. I thought we were gone. To my surprise we survived but I am including pictures of the Prius, to see if anybody thinks it will be totaled. IMG_1002.JPG IMG_1001.JPG IMG_0998.JPG

    looked totaled to me - mainly because it looks like the frame is pushed in and probably bent
