Glad you're ok.

Good to hear you are okay.

100 km/h is a big crash.

Good luck with recovery and getting a new car.

yikes! :shock:

I guess you were t-boned from the passenger side, being that you've come out relatively unscathed? Amazing how the cars are designed to divert the energy around the cabin and lessen the impact. Glad to hear you are okay. I hope you're holding up okay mentally/shock wise. some people dont cope well with big impacts, especially when it wasn't anything they could do about. So get counselling if you need it, stay safe and post up some pix of the car. Tho at 100km/h the car is not going to be in any state to be repaired. Lucky the other woman was at fault. :)

....and this kids, is why speeding up and running the amber lights is a very bad idea. Amber means STOP unless it is unsafe to do so. /end public service announcement. :)

Glad you're alright Erin. I wad T-Boned not too long ago...that's when I bought the Lancer :) but it really sucks to be in that position...as Pete said you feel helpless about the whole thing. I hope you're insured and get a MY12 Lancer :D

Also a good thing that most red light cameras are being retrofitted with digital speed cameras so the morons who race the red get booked twice... theres a intersection in Brisbane thats apparently catching 2-3 ppl a day, including a guy on ACA last night zooming through in a Volvo at 85kph... immediate confiscation of the car i say. In Germany there is ZERO tolerance for traffic infringements...
