I'm sorry to say that I too was rear ended at a red light by a full size pick-up truck at speed. The car was towed to the police station (this is Mexico), and I was taken away in an ambulance. I'm just glad to be alive and able to walk. The base of the spine "grew" a ball the size of a grapefruit within 30 seconds of the impact. Needless to say I thought that I would be in a wheelchair for the rest of my life. Now I have no car till the dealer and the insurance adjuster determine the repair. BTW, there are no rentals in any policy, your on your own for wheels in the meantime. The truck took off but I was able to record his plate number, however I'm not sure it will result in anything (this is Mexico). The car only had 3,500 km on it!
