How exactly did the accident happen? Unless you ran a redlight or something how do you pull in front of someone making a left turn?

damage doesnt look all that bad at all. Was the frame bent? cant tell if the fender is pushed in or the right wheel is sticking out. If you remove the bumper, fenders and the hood from that thing It doesn't look like much is damaged.

Glad that you are ok. we all mistakes

That's the weird thing, he said HE pulled into someone who was making a left turn:
