Agree, rear fog lights were on as well as the flasher. Traffic was at a complete stand still on both lanes of the highway. Apparently, that was not enough for the truck driver to see. He hit me at a high speed, which makes no sense as to why he would do so under the conditions. But, at the end of the day, it is what it is. I am thankful I am still in this world, and thankful that the Defender is one well built beast.

I did not have a missing tail light. I even had the rear fog lights on as well as the flashers. Thankful for the well built Defender for sure.

Great that you were all okay. The Defender it certainly tough, did you see the one that barrel rolled seven times after being side swiped by another vehicle.
Everyone walked away.
