Lights and Frame Damage. Right Rear Quarter.
You can see the size of the impact from the Silverado here...I redid the picture. Someone mentioned I shouldn't really have a picture of a license plate showing. >.>! My bad.

Turned off the access road to Marbauch, had to stop. Red light. 'Young Latino mother with child' proceeded to make my car a sub compact. "But officer, I had a green light, I thought he'd move." she wined.
Car in front of me, red light for me, green light on the OTHER side of the bridge. Drivers seat collapsed putting me (unconscious) in the back seat. She had no drivers license, no insurance and this was her mothers car. Mine was totaled.
A few years later I was on S.W. Military and had to stop for a red light, another Latino in her brand new pick-up slammed into the rear of my vehicle tearing the guts out of it, totaled yet again. "He's responsible officer, he stopped" were her exact words. Um, red light, two stopped vehicles in front of me... She still had the paper sales paper on the window.
She was in an insurance pool, AAA this time. I do not drive any more, I'm tired of having my body turned into a crumple zone.
Another few years later a drunk Latino male driving the wrong way on Loop 410 nearly head-on'd Anna, she dodged. When they finally stopped him a mile later (after nailing two other cars, his comment was 'What did I do wrong? I'm just driving home.' I helped tear the passenger door off the car next to us so we could get the woman inside out, torn up but alive. Her husband was livid, they were coming home with a brand new car to surprise their family.
And Anna still looks at me funny when I say I want a Panzer 4, mod H with the Porsche turret & 75 mm gun. It does get better mileage than a MAUS though.
We no longer live in San Antonio. I still no longer drive.
