5 car pile up, my poor bumble bee. UPDATE:PICS

Driving to my friend's for some turkey dinner tonight.

Stopped at a red light behind a silver persuit.
Crown vic behind me, and a black civic sedan behind it.

Just talkin to my gf when the light goes green. Persuit in front of my JUST starts to roll forward (im still on the brakes) when all i hear is a screech from tires behind me. A 10-15 passenger shuttle bus smokes the black civic, hits the crown vic, which in turn smokes me and i TAP the persuit as it was already in motion and a few more feet ahead.

The shuttle bus' front bumper was in the trunk of the civic almost to the back seat. The mother in front seat and the 2 kids in the back seat were taken to hospital to get checked out.
The crown victoria driver had no seat belt on and smoked his head against the steering wheel. Damage done to his rear bumper, looked to be a replacement repair.

My car is in rough shape. The bumper is pushed in, and the subframe of the trunk is bent forward toward the back seats. Impact was hard enough to put a dent in the driver's side quarter panel. Both my rear tail lights are toast since the clips and fasteners are twisted or broken off. The rear edge of the bumper skin is flush with my trunk lid (just to give an idea of how far it's pushed in).
I can't close my trunk anymore because of how mis-alined it is.

I have pics on my camera, i will post them up tomorrow or the next day.
My poor baby
im estimating between 2500-3000 bucks dmg to the car. And i hope to god that isn't a total loss for the vehicle.

Im going to the doctor tomorrow, both my gf and i have soar backs.
