Well, there was a big rig first in line to turn left, the Tahoe was behind him and I was behind the Tahoe. I suspect he couldn't see the light and only the rig made it through so he slammed on the brakes when he realized the turn light had gone red. Luckily he had no tow ball on the hitch, so the radiator appears fine, no leaks, just pushed back a little. Most of the damage is to the hood and hood latch crossmember. I have to wait and see what other damage lies under the hood, it can't be opened yet.

It hurts to look at it. Hope everything works out for you. CF hood and LCI headlights would be a nice upgrade.
