Basically the owner parked his car on the street and went to work only to hear the sound of an accident outside. The woman behind the wheel of the Corolla was on her phone, drifted from her lane and smashed into the classic. Damage basically was it bent the frame and the driveshaft, split the engine block, snapped all four wire wheels, broke the differential, and sent the hood flying. Woman tried reversing her car away, couldn't and ended up running from the scene to which the cops caught her a little after. As a classic car lover this breaks my heart. A piece of history and a cherished possession destroyed by someones irresponsibility behind the wheel
Edit: since a lot of people are saying the same thing, maybe destroyed wasn't the best word for it. The car definitely is fixable, just depends on the time and money they want to spend on it. Sucks but they seem to have a positive attitude considering the situation. Sorry I didn't use a better pic to show how bad the damage was I felt this one gave a better outlook on what happened and felt posting the article would help those who wanted more information to easily look and see but I've been replying to a lot of the same statements

I wonder if the Corolla driver looked up from her phone and for a split second thought she may have time traveled.
