Hopefully Mr. Texter got some burns and bruises from the airbag and the seatbelt. He'll probably be walking for a while, too, after their insurance rates go up! Hopefully it's not a no-fault state, so the texter's insurance will have to make the F150 owner whole with a brand new truck.

If in fact you really can't get much over 35 mph on that road, he must not have hit the brakes at all.

In no-fault states, the F150 owner's insurance company would subrogate against the kid's insurance company, so ...

It drives me nuts when I see people texting while driving.

I understand that the texter's insurance will eventually foot the bill, but if they're paying the injured party directly they can't play cards like "Oh, if you'd wanted replacement coverage you should have paid extra for that option on your policy" like many companies will use to screw their own customers. Not that they'll voluntarily pony up for a brand-new truck, of course, the injured party is still likely to have to make the demand.

Yep just like a beer can. Looks like the toyota did a lot better. I bet the toyota was able to drive home. I bet the texter didn't even have insurance

Couple of things I notice:

From what I can see there is zero damage to the passenger area of the F150.

The second picture shows that the left from fender of the Toyota buckled all the way back to the door. It indicates to me that the Toyota may have suffered damage in the passenger area.

The Ford was parked when it was hit and was still pushed over 100 feet. That was a lot of energy.

I think Ford can take a bow on this one. That truck did very well.
