Thanks all. Was definitely scary. The woman at fault actually passed away from injuries. This is how her SUV ended

Sorry for you having to go through that. I've had to see many of these things. Glad you walked away from it.

Looked at this and your first photo, she had a lot of loose personal items in that vehicle that got ejected.Thanks all. Was definitely scary. The woman at fault actually passed away from injuries. This is how her SUV ended
Sucks to hear she passed regardless but at least it did not take your life or leave serious injury.
Do not let her passing away keep you from dealing with her insurance and/or estate to make you whole as she still was at fault regardless of her outcome.

I was thinking the same thing on the amount of loose crap she had in the car.

Glad you're fine, and while I agree with don't let up, Rest In Peace other driver, as I doubt she wanted to go Kamikaze there.
Sharing this with my two friends, one who wants a Gladiator and the other I think would want one after seeing this

Steel bumper or not, the front ends of the frames on these are crazy tough. The outcome would have been mostly the same. The steel bumper absorbed some of the energy, but it's not all that stiff save for where it bolts to the frame. It's in pieces and the screws holding it together could sheer pretty easily.
Anything hitting you head-on is going to smack the ends of the frame. The bumper would only help very much in an angular hit. Then it would help absorb a lot of energy. In a frontal hit - it won't do much.
Sad it happened at all, sad for the family of the other driver - someone loved that person. And with the contents seen - were kids at home waiting........
And was it distracted driving.
REALLY sad, that's the cause of too many accidents.
Physics wins every time. Mass absorbs energy. Ugh. Shows how tough these Jeeps are, stinks that it had to be proven once again.

I agree these trucks are built like tanks. My 2021 sting grey jJTULRD was rearended by a VW passat doing 60 mph. I was stopped for a traffic light. He fell asleep after a graveyard shift. I drove away. His car was torn in half and he left in an ambulance. Im putting all my grandkids in JTs when they start driving.

These are reasons I have appreciated that my wife loved Grand Cherokees and the only thing that pried her out of a GC was a Wrangler.
GCs are crazy safe - and although a Wrangler won't beat or match the Grand Cherokee, it's still going to be safer than many things out there.
