My CR-Z totaled... - Honda CRZ Forum: Honda CR-Z Hybrid Car Forums

UntouchableMC · 11-06-2011, 12:31 PM

Both airbags were deployed when my car was hit while making a left turn. The other car was speeding across and hit the front driver's side of my car, deploying both the driver and passenger airbags on my cr-z. Basically when I saw the other car approaching my car i hit my brakes and was basically at a dead stop while the other car accelerated...

I was wondering since both airbags have been deployed does this mean my car is a write off? If so, how should i proceed?

There's no way we can tell if it's a total loss with that pic. You can't see anything. People on the forum won't be able to tell you if it's a total, check with your insurance company, that'd be the first step in getting it taken care of....

I know, the car is blocking off the damage... basically my license plate was sent flying across the street and my headlight became cracked. Also the front bumper was partially ripped off. According to my friend (he crashed his audi, in a similar situation) it became a write off.

That hardly sounds totalled to me especially given the relative "cheapness" of the CR-Z compared to an Audi and the light damage described. Sounds like about $3,000 in damage or so from what you've described.

^ Yea - pic is hard to read, but doesn't look totalled. But you could have some additional structural damage we are not seeing.

How to proceed, let your insurance company do its job while paying close attention. Hopefully you have good insurance.

Don't wonder that both airbags have been deployed. This is the standard reaction of the car, same here with the euro civics.

I can't tell from the picture, but sorry to hear about the wreck. More importantly, I hope you're all right. It sounds like the Audi ran a red light going straight while you were turning left.

Sorry to hear this, glad your ok.

Ok, so it wasn't just me..

As long as the IMA isn't leaking battery acid, this should be an easy-ish repair. (Though I worry about angled impacts causing frame damage.)
