Immediately in the dark, I didn't see so much damage
But the Audi was another matter :'(
He got shunted from behind at 110/115 kmh, then into me
In the workshop it looked a bit worse
It looked like the towbar luckily took the brunt, at first sight it appeared bent
€7000 damage, ouch

Luckily yes thxvm Don, just some aches and bruising, all the airbags went off in the Audi.
He was probably the luckiest getting hit both ends. Was a big shunt, moved me forward
20-30m with my foot on the brake!! Luckily I was stopped far enough behind the car in
front.

It will be repaired, the garage quote came in just under the Insurance's maximum payment thankfully
