Poor Dan's car was sandwiched between the RAV4 and my SPF.
His took most of the impact receiving massive rear and front damage.
His car is totaled. Don't know the final extent of the damage to mine untill
it gets put on a lift but the rt rear tire was not vertical, instead, top was tilted in.
Stuart was in shock after the accident and kept trying to get out of his car.
The first responders were there by the grace of God or Stuart would not be here anymore. When Dan and I arrived at the scene we were able to help get the cables moved enough to allow Stuart to free himself from them.

Fortunately for Dan and me, we were not in ours when the lady in the RAV4 skidded, and then slammed into Dans' beautiful CCX. Once again, another lucky moment. One woman seemingly not paying attention wrecked her car, 2 Cobras and damaged a DPS vehicle.

only good thing noticed about this accident scene was noticing how well the RAV4 held up in the crash.

This was the first AZCOBRA outing I have been able to attend in several months and now it seems it was the last one for awhile. If we had not parked our cars in the median and got out to help, this woman would have plowed into the emergency crews that were there helping out Stuart. I'm sure Dan would agree that sacrificing our autos is a small price to pay to have saved the rescuers from being run over.

My thoughts are with Stuart and hope for a speedy recovery.
