Another Yaris casualty

[Hershey]

Had a older woman with her S.U.V. pull out in front of us and these are the results . Good thing I was only going about 45 m.p.h.. Roads were wet and a light rain . Had headlights on . Looks like the front driver side fender got pushed outward ( see larger gap beteen hood and fender ) . Hopefully the frame wasn't damaged . You'll see where the back middle of the hood got pushed upward . Larger gap . All gaps are in Yellow . Plan to get it up on a lift for any other hidden issues and to check the tires for flat spots . The alignment seems off as well .

Pull the bumper. Chances are that you crushed the driver's side bumper mount a bit.

Are you ok?

[Hershey]

We're fine and she's good as well. Thanks for asking. The adjuster is calling on Monday , so leaving it alone until they send someone out to look at it . Should we still drive it ? Would like to take it to a service center to have it put on a lift to look for any other possible damage.

I would at least take a peek up under before continuing to drive it. If you hit on the other side the washer reservoir would have popped. Check for any sign of leaking from the radiator and also check the AC sight glass before trying to use it.

Thanks I wll take a look at that tomorrow. The A/C was working fine to defog the windshield. The majority of the impact looks to be the driver's side of the bumper .

This really sucks ... there have just been way too many Yaris crashes recently.

Seems that people are just not paying attention to what they are doing, or my favorite, they are just in such a hurry that they run into people. If they are not texting or on the phone .. they are clueless and just driving like they are the only people on the road. Sometimes with really bad results ...

I saw a 3 car accident just today .. still don't know what really happened, but there were fire, ems and police on scene sorting out the mess they made.

Good to hear that everyone is ok .. and the damage doesn't at first glance look too bad.

Want to play the damage estimate game ? Post your numbers to see who is the closest. Will post when we get them. We predict $3800.

[edmscan]

I'll play .... 5600$

[brg88tx]

former adjuster here...$2900

[Hershey]

do I hear $7700 ?

[Hershey]

Prize is this piece of bumper for the closest to the cost without going over .

Ouch. At least you guys are ok. I'll guess $2500, 1800 parts and 700 labor

Glad to know everyone is okay.

I'll guess $4150 CDN total to repair that in Ontario. Not sure how much that would be in the Northeast states. Probably half that since we get ripped off on the price of car parts...

[CTScott]

I say $1,900

[Altitude]

$1.00

[Happy Little Pony]

$3,300
