Awww, s$*t man ! Real sorry to learn that, I was under the vague impression everyone was OK -- though a hit like that, it's not hard to believe there's trauma ! Spine doesn't like that kind of abuse, sure hope there's nothing serious -- wouldn't be surprised if some vertebrae are out of alignment. As long as no discs are ruptured, a competent chiropractor can probably bring things back in.

Suuuuurrre, I hate when people don't admit their mistakes, like that excuse will make him less guilty duh, RIP Smurf, and I know Smurf will live for ever in other xB's n_n. Glad u and ur company it's ok.

dude, im so sorry to hear about this and about your wife being hurt. I hope everyone makes it out okay

and - like someone else mentioned - did any of the airbags go off??? the damage looks significant enough so that at least 2-3 air bags should have deployed..........
