Short version: We're all pretty much OK. Except for the Prius, that's pretty much toast.

It's a scan of a polaroid the aid people gave me to take to the hospital to show the doctors "this is what happened to the car, please guess likely injuries." I was pretty amazed to see just how much everything really folded up.

Did anything interesting happen to the Prius batteries?

I have no idea! Roger's going tomorrow to get all the rest of our stuff out of the car, I'll ask him to take a look.

don't think so. I suppose they might well be leaking now, but that's the impound yard's problem, not ours (unless the insurance folks get an attack of Stupid and decide that the car can actually be fixed...)

Note that the batteries form a row just in front of the trunk, and thus were just outside the crumple zone (or rather if the batteries had gotten crumpled then the kids sitting in the back seat just a few inches in front of them most likely would have gotten crumpled, which then goes places I really don't want to think about right now...)
