Montero 4WD

  • miles
At stop light. Hit in rear by car going atleast 45 mph. Neck whip-lash despite 3 point seatbelt and added thickness headrest as seatbelt collapsed backward to horizontal position. Unable to move seat fully upright (80%) after that. Car pushed about 20 ft. Tow hitched attached to frame reduced further back damage. Metal particles found in differential - probably form impact moving car in stopped position.
