Nuts. One less CE

Well nuts. Lady in oncoming traffic turned directly in front of me.

Thank God the airbags worked. Bruised up pretty good.

Phefff.....that's fixable!

Glad the car did it's job and you're still around.

Even though it may hurt, you're still drawing breath. Everything else is "workable".

This makes me tear up, but the important part is that you are good, just bruises. That's amazing for what this looks like.

Have you thought of keeping the car for parting out, or just letting the insurance company have it?

BAM! that's a good hit. Sad to see. I hate intersections like that, high speeds, dangerous.
Glad you are ok
Good luck with the insurance claim

Wow. Glad the car did it's job and kept you from getting really hurt.
They made more than one CE, so there's hope for a replacement.

Sad news to hear, but very glad that you came though it relatively unscathed. With the amount of damage I'm seeing, it tells me that the safety of the C4 is excellent. Sorry you had to be the one to show me...

Speedy recovery,
John
