My ex-husband got nailed on the highway yesterday ....

And not in the way he would have liked

A Farmers Insurance agent wasn't paying attention in bumper-to-bumper stop-and-go traffic on highway 394 here in the Twin Cities, and slammed into a lady; who then slammed into Roy (my ex); who then slammed into a 2010 Camry; who then slammed into the car in front of him. It was a pretty bad chain reaction but no one was hurt thankfully - but I figured I would share the pictures of how the ION literally soaked up every bit of impact from the crash.

....and I did have to chuckle to myself because that's what he gets for being such a jerk lately :P lol

Oh, since they were at a dead stop when the accident happened (well, all but the Farmers agent lol) there is no way the lady behind him could have hit him THAT hard - but it sure looks like it. I know Saturns are made to take all the impact of a crash but jumpin' Joseph that's a lot of damage for a rear-ender, isn't it? Or maybe I've just been lucky in the Yaris because the two times I've been rear-ended (people in Minnesota CAN NOT drive) it's only cracked my bumper.
