I am okay... thanks for asking. I had my seatbelt on, and the airbag deployed.

I was driving on the highway to visit a friend going about 60mph. And while i was driving i was doing the normal stuff, listening to music and whatnot.

There was a guy in front of me in a big brown van that was a ways ahead of me, and i had just been used to seeing him in front of me. I looked away for a moment, at my CD player or outside, and i looked back and he was stopped with his blinker on, waiting to turn.

I was way to close to come to a complete stop, so i slammed on my brakes and turned the sterring wheel to the right to go around the side of him, but i didn't react soon enough or slow down fast enough so i slammed into the back right of his bumper...

I'm still kind of shaken up, and i can smell the airbag still.

The wheel clears the fender when turning both ways, and it drives normal. but the wheel hit the fender a bit from the shocks compressing when entering my driveway.
