We were making a stop at the light , when a 18-wheeler didn't stop and hit us in the back ,pushing us towards the bus that was in front of us , making the glass of the back break and throwing all the crystals in our body and clothes ,the air bags never open , the front seats were broken and 3 of the 4 doors couldn't close anymore, the driver tried to make a move to the left or right , but he could not , because we were stuck, when we realize there were no major injury, we stayed until the red cross came to check our condition,but there were crystals everywhere so we couldn't move without hurting ourselves. We buy the truck with 2 miles,we we are the only owners.
