Rear-ended - Hitch saves day - Onboard Video and pictures

I was stopping at a red light and this guy rams be from behind. He lost his grill and I ruined my hitch cover and hitch parking sensor. My onboard camera was rolling.

Here is the video.

Crazy! Not sure why you were recording but I suppose it could come in handy in situations when there is some dispute as to fault. In this case, there is no question that the other driver was wrong. With that hitch contraption I wouldn't want to rear-end you. :eek:
