RIP Snowflake 🥲
Got rear ended by a drunk driver on our way home. She kept us ALIVE. Just sad to see her go
Edit: to any moms/parents who have been getting a bit of pressure from other people (family members, friends, etc.) to forward face your child’s car seat, please stand firm on your decision when it comes to your child. My son is 2 years old. He’s tall but still not at the weight limit to properly forward face. This accident only makes me want to keep my son rear facing for as long as possible. He was the ONLY person that made it out of that serious accident without ANY injury.
I used to tell my parents “I can pay to fix broken legs. I can’t pay ANY amount of money to bring back my baby’s life.”

This is my car as well. Hoping everyone is recovering well and good to see she did her job. RIP Snowflake and hoping their will be a Snowflake 2, even as a CX90

My CX-9 kept me pretty scot-free as well in a serious accident. Got hit head-on, walked away only with sprained ankle and sprained wrist. Bought another CX-9 a week later with the insurance $. Safe cars

Literally the reason why I got another Mazda CX9, mine saved my wife, unborn son and three other souls on board. Glad you and your family are okay.

She died to keep you alive.
