About the traffic accident that involves a teen driving with ford, It's good that no one got injured but the total damage on her car and the one that got hit the chevy is really expensive though. But it can be lessen thanks to some aftermarkets that sells cheap replacements especially in ford such as ford bumper, hoods, wheels, brakes , bearings, shafts etc.
