Car accidents, be they fender benders or more serious crashes can happen to anyone and anywhere, but what’s special about this incident is that it involves a prototype of the upcoming 2012 Honda CR-V, which was recently previewed with a thinly disguised concept study.

We’re not quite sure how it happened, but the collision that took place in California involved four vehicles amongst which the 2012 CR-V test mule, a Lexus RX and a Toyota Highlander.

Unfortunately for Honda, one of the drivers of the other cars happened to be a blogger who took these photos. The blogger was one of the founders of the NOTCOM website, Jean Aw, who at the time didn’t know that the bagged up Honda was a prototype.

Aw wrote on her blog that she is in the process of recovering from the accident. We hope she gets well soon.
