2012 2LS Vs. A car.... a tree... a ditch...
 

So, This morning i woke up and went to school on the way there, wasnt paying attention as I took a gentle sloping right turn. As I looked up, I saw a car in the other lane heading right at me. I pulled hard right, and this happened.

now this doesnt look so bad, until you see it from this angle.

I hit the other car at an angle, and we sort of sideswiped each other. The two wheels hit each other, mine exploded off and his just got bent back. After hitting, his car went into a ditch and mine slid for a long time. Up a hill, into a yard, missed some trees, grazed another tree, then slid perfectly back down his driveway, across the same road and hit the ditch.

You can sort of see the path I made here.

from his driveway to the ditch. Now I know your wondering, YES everybody is ok. Someone up above was looking out for me. My question is, is the damage on my car enough to total it? Here are a few more angles from when they were towing it.

All my airbags deployed, and the front drivers side wheel is torn off. My door is all messed up, and the back driver's quarter panel is somewhat bent. The back is completely fine besides the rear diffuser being popped out. The front frame is surprisingly relatively unbent, with the majority of the damage to the front drivers wheel well. Anyone have a guess on the status of the car? I just want an idea of if it will be totaled or not. Comment with questions, I'll have more pics soon. :(:(:(:(:(

*****UPDATE*****
My car is officially totaled. Thanks everyone for the support and the advice.

I would guess it's totaled. With all the bags popped etc, it's going to be a spendy fix.

It's totaled.

This is why we don't give kids new cars. Glad you're ok. Next time PAY ATTENTION. Were you texting or screwing with the radio that caused you to look away?

Glad your okay. Was the other driver a crazy old man?

Looks toast to me - glad you walked away.

No, he was an older guy tho I was just worried that he was ok, cars can be replaced people cant. And @Irocanss I bought the car myself. Btw, im 20 not 16 or something stupid like that where parents give you a nice car for free.

Totalled. Glad you are o.k.

That's got structural damage. I'd be amazed if it wasn't totaled. You drive a really safe car, glad it proved itself to you.

yeah i'm actually surprised I walked too. Im fine, not hurt at all. The damage wouldnt have been so bad if I didnt wrap my drivers front quarter around a tree and hit 2 ditches. First one launched me up into the yard, last one stopped me from going into a field on the other side of the road.

Sorry.... Anyhow, As it reads, seems YOU were heading for the other car in the other lane. Not the other way around.

Who crossed left of center, you or the other guy? I assume you with comments like "I wasn't paying attention" and "when I looked up".

yeah, it was 100% my fault, I crossed over and hit him. Thats why I posted I was ust worried about him, I feel bad seeing as it was my fault.

Bummer! You lucked out tho. Glad everyone is ok and you're taking it very well. You'll get a new car... Hope insurance doesn't hike.

Looks totaled to me. Glad you are okay as well as the other driver. Just a reminder not to become complacent. It happens to all of us from time to time. No one is perfect.

I've been there. The best lessons in life are learned the hard way. Take some valuable foresight with you when you walk away.
