Car accident (family car gone) lots of PIX

Well my dad got in to an accident yesterday...he was on the 401(highway)...more details after pix. Btw its a 1993 Camry with only 125k on it.

First lets get started with pics:

Here's how it happened....

Hopefully its easy to understand...dont mind my crap artisitic skills...but thats the highway and my dad was on the fast lane (far left) driving the same speed as the PICKUP truck(it wasn't a 18wheeler) in front which was 120km/h but then all of a sudden the truck halted...(crashed).

My dad was about 2-3 car distance away from the Chevy Truck he applied the brakes as hard as he could the car skidded and when he realized that he won't be able to stop so he tried to change lanes but he still hit the Pickup truck at about 60-80km/h.

Luckily there was a off duty cop behind my dad and he pulled over and sat in the car with him. The off duty cop saw everything and my dad wasn't given a ticket or charged. The insurance will let him go and his insurance is not going to increase.

My dad luckily wasn't injured he was taken to the hospital for xrays but everything was good just minor bruises.

So here we are missing our great Camry. We will probably buy another camry and proabably the same model 1993-1996 but it is going to be hard to find a low milage one like ours. The car was truly perfect. And now we miss it even more because the insurancec people gave us the worst possible car for rental (04' Cavalier). Which is sh*t compared to our 1993 Camry.

btw the camry was loaded sunroof,powerlocks,windows,automatic seat ajustments etc. etc.

the intresting thing about this pic is that imagine the guy who was riding that yellow bike in the background...wonder where he is now...

btw dont mind the spelling mistakes i may have made.

Cool pics

Shame about the car ... but it's only nuts and bolts, a crash at that speed with other vehicles around must have been pretty scary so it's a good thing no-one was hurt.

What's wrong with the Cavalier, I just googled and it looks okay, in a cuboid N. American typical motor kindofway

Like everyone else, sorry about you car. I'm glad your father is ok though, the car can be replaced, your father can't
