Tonight a Volvo saved my Ass

So tonight I was shooting photos with my brother out in Richmond, we just left the Richmond Oval and was stopped at a red light. Suddenly I got hit from behind and get pushed out into the intersection like 15-20 feet. Luckily nobody was crossing the intersection cause I would of been t-boned. The 2 guys who hit me admitted they weren't paying attention. Grrr my poor Volvo =(


I used to be at the stop line...

yeah the Accord didn't show a lot of damage considering how hard they hit me. Both their airbags deployed and their horn wouldn't turn off until they disconnected the battery or something. They didn't even ask if we were ok...or check if we were alive. What chokes me is some car behind them drove off after the accident like they didn't want to be involved as witnesses. I dunno but if you saw a car get hit like that and pushed that far out in the intersection, its common courtesy to stop and check if everyone is alright!$# /rant

ouch man, that intersection is always a bitch, the design and the surrounding just makes it... awkward.

Hope you are OK!

BTW HOLY SHIT that accord must've hit you pretty darn hard.

Wow, lucky you didn't get hurt. My question is how fast was the driver in the Accord going? He must have been hauling ass towards the intersection.

So i guess volvo's bulletproofness has declined, cause a 940 or a S50, s70 so on would just rub that off

My friend had a old ass XJ6 Jag and we got rear ended by some VW a few years back. The entire front end of the VW was gone, the Jag had two minor marks on the bumper. I was beyond shocked when I got out to inspect the damage, there was no damage whatsoever. The old Jags were built like tanks but drove like tanks as well.
