Well, true. I mean to say serious injuries. It looks a lot worse than it could have been.

It was not long ago people easily died in accidents like this.

I have seen may HHR's that have take hard hits and from all indications the unibody on this little vehicle is very strong and absorbant.

I even have seen one hit first hand to see the people walk away and the HHR remain largely intact.

I am glad to see your family is safe and well on the way to recovery!

These are the images GM and Chevy should advertise! Safty like this would sell a lot of cars. No advertising hype here just the facts.

First of all I am glad to hear that your family survived with rather minor injuries considering the impact was like hitting a brick wall at 110MPH!!!

Every time a see a major wreck with an HHR, I am amazed at how well they handle it.
Give them some great big hugs!
