What owners wrote
I was driving a 98 toyota tacoma on a 45 MPH highway when a pedestrian in the road caused all lanes of traffic to suddenly stop. I was unable to stop in time and went into the median to avoid an accident. I was unable to keep my vehicle in the median and struck the 2000 saturn coupe drivers side fender to drivers side fender. Upon impact the body of the saturn burst into 12 to 14 inch shards of whatever the body is made of, (perhaps fiberglass or something similar).
