Well at least the license plate is now appropriate. Straight and level road on a sunny day - something went wrong.

Ouch.. hopefully everyone walked away ok. The worse news is that with the value of the car, that might not be a total, meaning the owner is getting that back after repairs...

That's some serious damage to the car. Good luck to the owner in getting that mess fixed.

That will total loss no doubt . It not always about value but the design of the frame and being aluminum that will definitely total loss.

Just FYI I own 3 of the largest Collision Centers in the state of fl so I speak from experience.

Just the srs system is over 10k in parts alone. alona goner!

Not to mention it will have a fairly good salvage value when sold at copart auction which help offset the insurance companies loss.

Traction control looks like it is off. Airbags deployed so likely total loss.

It looks like it happened on I295 northbound at Wilson boulevard. Anybody know what caused it?

Looks like the C8 rear ended the vehicle in front of it.

Grille guards would have saved the radiator!
