Unhappy RIP 88 FC vert

Yesterday, around 1:50PM, my car was taken from me in a bad accident. Someone pulled out in front of me on 99W. I panic braked and ended up colliding with them at about 45mph.

Everyone was okay. I came out the worst with (seeing the doctor later today), I think, a broken hand/wrist and a couple cracked ribs.

My seven had the drivers side headlight and fender sheared off to a little past the the front wheel. The whole front end is knocked to the left and twisted counter-clockwise a bit. Fortunately, my engine, transmission, and other important power-train parts seem virtually untouched. So, I just need a new rolling shell.

Sad to hear another 7 is dead.
Glad your OK though. I drive up and back down 99w every morning in my vert. Really hate that highway.
