Just had a crash, rear ended someone at some traffic lights, one smashed headlight, sidelight, indicator, and a dented wing.

Everyone ok, the guy was fine about it saying these things happen, i was a little shaken as i've never had a crash before. The one brightside was it was the headlight that was already cracked that got smashed! Not much damage to his Focus, paint and a small dent low down.

That sucks, I'm really sorry for you.

If you like the car then get it fixed and make it even better than it was before.

Some pics, i think overall i've been quite lucky, no damage to the bonnet, and just a few scratches on the bumper. The bar that runs under the headlights has been bent down onto the bumper, but that should bend back reasonably easily i would have thought? Its a bit weird how the headlight and the indicator are busted, but there's virtually nothing wrong with the bumper itself!

Id call that a great escape.

4G front ends crumple pretty easily and can look a mess even with minimal contact.

While it sucks that this happened, at least it should be easily fixable.

Looks like the other cars bumper hit your car just above the bumper and the bumper only got a wee bit of knock.
