Dodged a bullet V 2.0 - 82 year old Dad

My Dad's car is the one in the link. 2015-ish Accord.

Head on into a 1988 Dodge Dynasty which I believe is a full frame car. Dynasty was stopped instantly. My Dad's car fortunately was deflected and spun around a few times otherwise he and his girlfriend probably would have suffered the same fate as the fellow who veered into them.

Girlfriend spent a week in Asheville hospital with a split knee cap (repair surgery) and I think eight broken ribs. Old Man had something break on his pelvis on the back side but it was a self mender. Huge bruise from seat belt.

Buckle up and all hail crumple zones.

Pic from the other day.
