Kia and Hyundai. - Toyota Yaris Forums

We got rear-ended in traffic last Monday by a driver who tried to skip out of the exit lane to get ahead of the crowd, he never looked in front of him when he floored the pedal on his way to the left lane (he was constantly checking his side mirror for upcoming cars).

We were in the work truck, a GMC Savana, and it hit pretty hard, however the only damage was a recessed in the half left of the metal bumper and crack open the left back door flashing, exposing the lower hinge to the elements. Lucky the door and bumper were still functional. The boss was pretty pissed at the guy when we called him, until he saw the aftermath on the other driver's car.

A 2014 Kia Forte, the whole passenger front end obliterated and lefts tons of clear plastic lens and reflector material on the highway, plus fog light frame and bezel, engine splash guard, huge bumper cover chunk, lights, etc. he barely was able to drive the car 1000' forward to a gas station to get on the flat bed tow truck. Blue smoke coming out the exhaust and burn tire smell. Even the front right wheel was wobbly.

I wouldn't be surprised if the insurance company decides to scrap the car instead of having it fixed. All that for a low speed traffic collision.
