Wintah Beatah....is broken

Some idiot decided to take a left across two lanes of traffic to go the other way on Warwick Ave. Except my car was in the way. No air bags deployed, not even the side-impact ones.
Lower B-pillar was damaged. Rear door doesn't sit flush on the body any more. You can kinda see that the rear door is pushed back a bit. Also, you can kinda see the sheet metal buckling around door panel height. Not shown:
- Rocker panel under the rear door is damaged (where the door's lower striker is.
- The rear door doesn't open all the way any more.
- Rear door hinges aren't right any more.
More superlatives for the Accord:
- First insurance claim for any car
- Potentially shortest period of car ownership (I only got the title last week)
If the car is totalled (B-pillar damage on a uni-body isn't good), I should see how close it gets me to a PPV...
I might take some more pics in the sunlight tomorrow if there is more damage to see.
