I wonder if the Ford truck was involved in the accident?

This is getting SCARY! One of the reasons I bought a red one is so it would stand out more aka "not get hit".

That is the same reason why I choose red too.

That's what I thought, too. However, I have a history of trouble with red cars.

1970-something Renault 4 - rear-ended and totalled in the UK.
1998 Honda Accord wagon - took a 6: rock through the nose at 120 mph closing speed - not funny. $1000 to "fix" but never ran right or could shut the hood afterwards.
2007 Red Yaris HB. Broadside by Toyota van - totalled.

My oldest kid has also taken out 3 red cars. We are no longer allowed that colour....

My last ride was a 2003 Saturn Ion. I got rear-ended at 35mph and they totaled it. Thats why my Yaris is yellow :)

I would think so, since they're on the same tow truck. Kinda funny, seeing how little damage trucks and suv's take when hitting smaller cars.
