My car is dead...
Happened on the highway...
A car hit me from behind, driving about 110-130km per our and then i got pushed up in the back of the car in front of me... The reason why is because there had been an accident further ahead and I was in line as the last one...(hope I explained that good enough..) Pictures of my car:

I hope that you weren't hurt in all that.

Wow! Glad to hear you walked away so to speak. Looks like you have a convertible now.

Do you plan to pick up another Yaris, once your insurance claim(s) are settled appropriately? You should definitely be able to pick up some extra "pain and suffering" cash for your trouble at least. Sic a lawyer on the at-fault driver's insurance company.
If my 2015 SE was totaled for some reason, and I lived to tell the story, I would be back into a 2016 SE ASAP, before they go extinct with the arrival of the 2017 Mazda2-Yaris rebadge hatchback |

The pain and suffering is also being worked on... I think I'm getting a bigger car now...not because I think the Yaris is a bad car, I just wan't to try something else. Maybe like this Toyota Auris: |

Definitely glad you're alright.
That car looks pretty mangled. |

Thanks,
and yes, the car has, naturally, been declared total... But one thing I must say about the Yaris: It's a tough car! I'm looking at a newer Yaris in silver right now, but nothing's been decided yet... |

glad you're alright. and even gladder you're looking into getting a yaris again. and if you can live with a little higher fuel expenses again, then the auris is a good choice. that is if you also want a bigger car. (it feeeels huge already, and we don't even have the wagon)
good luck in your purchase! (and your insurance claim) |

It is great news that you are OK. Looks like the Yaris was well-constructed enough to save you from major injury.
