Yaris

  • 57,000 miles
I was recently involved in a motor vehicle accident. I was driving down a main road at approximately 37 mph. There was another vehicle (SUV) which was stopped at a stop sign. The vehicle pulled out in front of my vehicle and the front end of my vehicle collided with the side of the other vehicle. The front of my 2008 Toyota Yaris had a lot of damage including the bumper and hood being pushed completely out of place. It did cause bodily injuries to me including an injured back and neck. Additionally, I believe I have re-torn ligaments in which I previously had surgically repaired. My major concern is that my airbag did not deploy.

She was going about 35 miles an hour when a Ford F150 truck made an left turn in front of her from the North bound lane my wife collided with this truck. Front end collision of the Yaris hitting the truck on the passenger front wheel. Doing damage to the trucks front right quarter panel. Doing a lot of damage to the front end of our 2008 Toyota Yaris, bending and smashing the whole front bumper, pushing the hood out of place.
