    Hello Everyone,

    Thanks in advance.

    I was rear ended in fluctuating traffic on the freeway the otherday. Sections of 100+km/h followed by near stops in bad rain. It was bound to happen to someone.

    Noone was hurt and the other party has been very accepting of responsibility, but now I have to navigate my way through the hassle of insurance.

    I was hit at between 40 and 60 km/h when I was nearly stopped.

    I pushed forward into a car infront of me, who left the scene.

    Car was towed, I pulled away from the other vehicle as his car was smoking and steaming and I heard some grinding. May have been mudflap or muffler on tire, but I wanted to make sure it was sorted out and no damage attributed to myself.

    My question is, can something like this bend my frame? What else should I be concerned about being overlooked.

    Any advice appreciated.

    Cheers

    Glad to hear all are okay. Yes it's possible the frame can be bent. With the hint square on the bumpers right side. Be surprised if it isn't bent somewhat. I have same truck, what a shame to see one smashed up.
