What owners wrote
A vehicle was traveling very slowly on a rural interstate as my toyota fj cruiser approached in the same lane. The driver of the fj cruiser braked quickly to avoid hitting the slow moving vehicle. However, an 18-wheeler behind it could not stop fast enough. It rear-ended my fj cruiser sending the front-end colliding directly into the back of the slow moving vehicle. As the 18-wheeler continued forward, my fj cruiser was squeezed out from between the two vehicles and pushed into another lane.
Vehicle was stationary in driveway my frame, some suspension components, and my rocker panels were falling apart in my hands
