Our 2008 Toyota Avalon was rammed from the rear with full force from a Honda crv going 40 mph. The Avalon was slowing down to allow a groundhog to cross on a straight 2 lane road at the time, but the driver of the Honda behind seems to have been a distracted driver because she did not stop accelerating. The driver of the Avalon suffered head, neck, back and hip injuries and was transported by ambulance to the hospital. The damage to both vehicles is extensive-pictures of the Avalon attached. The Honda airbag deployed, saving that driver from injury. The airbag of the Toyota did not deploy-clearly malfunctioning and could have prevented some of the injuries if it had deployed properly. There is a police report but it is not available to us yet. The insurance companies are working on the claim. No repairs have been made yet and it is not clear whether it is 'totaled'.
