Accidents suck - I had a MB CLK that was the ham in the sandwich and it was beyond repair. Cars are designed to crumple - to protect you and your occupants. I'm glad you are ok.

I initially refused medical at the accident scene - I called my son to pick me up as the car was being towed away. Within the hour I got nauseous and I had my son take me to the ER. I thought I had a concussion.

It all worked out - I was just shaken up but the lesson learned is don't take anything for granted. As others have stated, don't be to quick to declare yourself ok.
