What happens when a large service bus runs into the back of your Patrol when stationary in a queue of traffic....................................I'll give you a graphic report. Fortunately it is still six weeks before we are heading off on our next trip and our panel shop (owned by son) has assured us it will be ready. We sustained no injuries in the collision suffering headaches etc. Both front seats backs were moved backwards on their adjustment as you can see. The heated window shot out of the back door and landed on the road in one piece. Oh well sh*t happens. Good job for insurance.

Regards

Terry

The tyre saved more severe damage, and probably prevented you from being injured.
No matter what the circumstances, a rear-ender is the fault 100% of the driver of the vehicle which hits the vehicle in front.
I did something similar to a little red car, leaving the number plate somewhere close to the back seat of the hatchback.
It's good to know you are all safe and well.
When I went to report my prang, the Police asked if anyone was hurt. When I said no, they said, "See you later, it's not worth the paper work."
