To OP: Very sorry that this happened to you and your wife.
Friends of ours just had something similar happen. A girl in a late model Toyota Prius made a u-turn in front of their bus. There was no way to stop. The impact on the bus was on the front passenger bumper that also damaged the entrance door. They exited out the emergency window.
Their bus was totaled too as it was a 1994 but in excellent condition. Once the exterior estimate started to reach $90K, they stopped and the insurance company paid it off the agreed value. They were able to drive the bus home.
The impact on the Prius was just at the A-Pillar just missing the driver's door although damaged. Lucky girl, a direct impact would have killed her.
Like an above poster mentioned, life is short and can end at a blink of an eye.
I watch crash video's every now and then and it seems most are caused by people making left turns. Also, if you are on a multi-lane road and cars stop but your lane is open, be careful of a car making a left turn and not seeing you zooming down your lane.
I saw that happen where a SUV was broadsided by a pick-up truck that was next to me. The rear of the truck came off of the ground. Scary.
Safe travels,
MM.
