If the airbags deployed , then yeah it’s totaled in all likihood.I’m really injured and when it happened smoke filled the interior of my vehicle so I’m coughing still I guess it’s in my lungs. Air bags deployed arms hurt, back, neck and chest plus a bruise on my stomach. Didn’t expect my afternoon to go like that.
It may depend upon the car’s residual value, but I’d say 90% chance totaled. That’s probably at least $20k damage even if it wasn’t structural.

What state are you in? What year is the Mach E
Airbag deployments are VERY violent. I have no idea what current state of the art is, but my steering wheel air bag deployment (in concert with torso locking) in 2003 left a lasting impression for a couple weeks.I’m really injured and when it happened smoke filled the interior of my vehicle so I’m coughing still I guess it’s in my lungs.

Thank you that’s factsCars can be replaced, you can’t be. Take care of yourself first and foremost. See your doctor, get a rehab plan and deal with that first. Hand the accident over to the insurance company. Let them deal with that part, thats why you pay them.
If at all possible have someone other than you go get everything out of the car.
That looks pretty bad as well. All of my airbags deployed and I couldn’t get out because the door was mangled. Someone had to use a knife to cut the airbag on the passenger side and help me out.Airbag deployments are VERY violent.

For that crash: way better than the outcomes in a non-airbag vehicle.
I thought airbag deployments were a default total loss.
