Hellie made the ultimate sacrifice!!!

[jarova]

Our Hellie the Telluride made the ultimate sacrifice to protect my wife last night. A driver ran a red light and hit Hellie at 55 mph. My wife climbed out of the passenger side without a scratch. We have owned Hellie since April of 2019. With over 50,000 miles on her, she has been the best family vehicle we have ever owned. She was getting ready to take us to Florida for Spring Break but now has gained her wings. Thank you KIA for engineering such a fabulous vehicle that saved my wife! Working through the details with insurance, but the search begins today for Hellie's successor. Very thankful to be typing this while my wife takes a day of rest. Much love everyone!

Here is hoping for a speedy replacement. Off topic: is VA not putting inspection stickers in the middle of the windshields anymore?

Awesome to hear the wife is okay. Are you planning on purchasing another Telluride?

also grab your step-up before the insurance company take your car

• VA now has the small inspection sticker to the side. Finally!
• Definitely plan on getting another Telluride. Have to wait on insurance. Fortunately driver at fault has the same insurance as us.
• Plan to salvage everything we can tomorrow. Had building materials in the back of the Telluride that I couldn't fit in my 4R last night.

Soooo soooo glad your wife is safe! Also, great to see that the Telluride lives up to its safety rating. That's one of the reasons I have one, besides the fact it's just a great vehicle...Best wishes for you and the fam.
