Just got into an Accident!

[slothman86]

No one was hurt, luckily I had my phone on me!
It was a 40 mile per hour zone. The airbags did not deploy.

[kustom play]

What was the other vehicle? Can't be the van, right?

[slothman86]

Yep it was the van.

[why?]

and hopefully not the bus. I can't believe the bags didn't go off. Good to see you doing alright after that.

Yeah, I'm glad I wasn't hurt! At least the seat belt helped!

[slothman86]

A little analysis

[big lo]

Dam man, that sh!t had to hurt!!

Thanks I appreciate it! Hopefully she can be fixed!

[Hershey]

That's a handsome YARIS :wink: . Like those rims and spoiler :drool: . Hope it all gets back to original condition .

rightoff?

[SAV912]

DUDE!!! NO!!!

I am thoroughly saddened to see this. Hadn't seen you on the road recently. Looks like you were midtown on 52nd eh? That's just a bad intersection. I almost got ran off on the 37th Connector a few days ago, so I sorta know the pain.

Best of luck getting her fixed. And if you need to wrench a little to help pass the time, we can do my headlights if you have time to spare. :biggrin:

Did that idiot make a left turn in front of you? Hope he/she has insurance, and I'm glad you aren't hurt. You may be sore tomorrow though.

[Killchain]

As a NFG, my accident involved my 1990 4x4 Toy. After some soul searching I bought my '10 Yaris HB.
I'm glad youre ok, yet as in my case.........this may lead you on a different path.

He lets do your head lights! It's not a really big task. I even know better paint to use now.

Oh I am so sore, I got a couple prescriptions today after I went to the hospital. Unfortunately we are having a HARD time finding his so called insurance!

I think If this is not fixable I will get another Yaris. If I am able to get her fixed I am taking here to the dealership and demanding a free airbag check or whatever. It is BS that they didn't deploy esp at 35-40 mph.

[nemelek]

Even though things can be "fixed" if it were my car, I would be looking at getting a new one.

sux man! my airbags did not deploy when my yaris was totaled @ 70mph

WTF? That's just crazy? Why even have them?

[Black Yaris]

oh yeah, they did not deploy when i was in a head on collision when some one crossed left of center, luckily we were not going fast

That's interesting because I was hit in sorta the same way...Hmmmm

[auxmike]

Don't be surprised if they total that car. That's a good $5k of damage there.
The van looks fine though.....
Hope you feel better soon. :)

[tk-421]

Glad you're OK! I think it looks like a fixer to me. I had a similar crash early on and it's fine now.

Oh, and...

+1 :thumbsup:

P.S.: The airbags should have deployed under those conditions. I'm pretty sure something is wrong there...
EDIT: after thinking about it a bit more, you probably weren't going fast enough for the airbag module to activate the airbags. This is actually a safety feature, according to my Toyota rep.

[pspeezy]

im confused as to what happend, the bus was stopped, so the van tried to go around, and there you were??

ps. best of luck to you and your yaris !!!!

Thanks. The Van was dented a little...you can kind of see the passengers front end a little smuuushed...

Its strange I've seen airbags depoly at 10 mph. It would make sense for them to go off at higher speeds. Maybe Toyota is the safest. The Gentleman at the Tow Yard explained how the Airbag could actually mess you up too.

I don't think I'm gonna do any more mods ever to anything. If they could be destroyed this easily. Then screw that.

Thanks, It was the Van the whole time. It tried to make a left turn too late.

[marcus]

that damage should qualify for write off.. dont let them fix it have them write it off and get a new one..fixing the outer doesnt always fix the innerside of it. mostlikely frame is bent and they cant fix that..

[Lorenzo1950]

Glad you are ok. This is why auto insurance is so darn expensive. Many drivers are only thinking of themselves and getting from point a to point b as quickly as possible. Sometimes there is a thin line as far as who is at fault.
When my Honda Civic was totaled in May, the other driver was driving a van, it was a blind intersection and I was turning into a filling station. I had no idea of the traffic coming up the hill because I could not see anything. It was still considered my fault. My point is, if the other person was not driving so fast she might have actually seen my car and not have done as much damage. Her excuse is that there was a truck in front of her. I never saw any truck, I was just making a left turn and did not see any traffic at all. I hope in your case the other driver is responsible for all the damage done to your car.

Air bag deployment is not a benign event. When air bags first came out I used to see a lot of injuries related to the airbags. They are now much more sophisticated and less likely to deploy when you really don't need them. I'd say if you walked away, you really didn't need them! Glad you are ok-hope you feel better soon.

What's considered fast then :eek:

[maxxman420]

when i got into i craash a few months ago the bags did not deploy, and i was going around the same speed. sorry to here about that:(

[SilverBack]

That was a such a nice Yaris. It looks fixable, but don't expect it to ever run 100% the same again if you keep it.

Glad you're okay anyways.

[kustom play]

im willing to bet they total that out

[Klink10]

Glad you are okay.

I guess the air bags not going off is a safety feature...?

Thanks. I hope it can be fixed, if they total it I def wont get what it's worth.

im willing to bet they total that out

Many people have said it's too really close to say

Glad you are okay.

Appreciate it!

[slothman86]

Got my rental car today. 2010 Ford Focus which actually is rather nice! OH and the car is totaled they are gonna give me close to 10K for it!

So are you going to get another yaris ?

[Betrivent]

Nice! That's not bad at all! Also you can even salvage the wheels and other stuff, so you'll probably get close to 11k back (spoiler, lips, headlights?, Fogs?

[slothman86]

I am actually signing the car over to the insurance company so It wont be mine anymore. so, I don't think I can.

[Betrivent]

Oh, darn :(

[why?]

yea, unless you specifically ask them, and they specifically allow you too, once they pay you, an insurance company keeps everything.

[SAV912]

Bummer you lost the car, but it's probably for the best. I wouldn't want mine back if it took that much a hit. Grats on near $10K though! That's quite a deal. Not sure I'd stay in the family for that. :biggrin:

-SAV

[Astroman]

Odd they've decided to total it. My cars been smashed up twice in front, and $8k in damages from fireworks, and mine keeps getting fixed by the insurance.

[bobselectric]

I'm glad they decided to total it- you should at least get your rims and tires back, especially if you have the stock ones to put back on. They aren't giving you extra for them so they are like property- check it out
My airbags didn't deploy when I hit the deer that ran in front of me at 30 mph, so i guess it's adaptive electronics- I had 6k worth of damage, but i think you need to factor in metro ny prices

[swidd]

Just as a general question... If the stuff I've put into the Yaris gets damaged, will it be covered by insurance if totaled? Or stolen? I have like $2000+ in audio equipment and the clazzios in my yaris.

[why?]

different insurance companies do different things. Sometimes extremely different things.

[yaris2010RS]

only if u claim it to ur insruance company when u install it. which would cause ur cost to go up also.

Yeah I miss her so much! Yeah it turns out it's 9,750 including pain and suffering check.

There was a crack on the wind shield in don't know if that matters...?

They will let you get you audio equipment out if you ask them!

Nah The Wheels went with it. They paid me for them too!

Yep, Luckily it wasn't MY insurance company it was the dick head who decided to turn into me. But Yep they paid me for just about everything including my self installed cruise control!

[slothman86]

Hey, guys just update. I'm moving up to Washington. I really miss my Yaris!

[Bluevitz-rs]

Did you get anything to replace it?

[SAV912]

Holy cow. DC or the state?
