The car ended up in Ukraine, where it was fixed up and used to get a family out of the country, one day before Russia invaded.
"So, what are the odds, you know, what are the odds that from a car accident something good can come of it, like really good," Northport resident Gia Savocchi said.
The Volkswagen had 145,000 miles on it and Savocchi planned to log another 100,000 miles, until she was t-boned last year and was totaled by her car insurance. "Before I sent it off to heaven, I put information in the glove box just in case someone took it, repaired it and has a question about its history," Savocchi said."It was in Cyrillic, and I was like, this is going to be a scam, 100%," Savocchi said. "It said something like, 'I have your car' and I was like yeah, you have my car.""I was very emotional when he contacted me, like I could not believe it," Savocchi said. "He purchased it.
"Literally the day after it was fixed, they hopped in the car and left, and he said your car gave us new life," Savocchi said. "And it was really moving because they were stuck there." The family fled the war to the Czech Republic. The father of two messaged Savocchi saying "I gave her a second life and she gave me. I love this car.""I was like thing, this thing I was so upset about," Savocchi said. "It upset me for a while, it was a wonderful thing. It's great that I got in a car accident. It saved this man, potentially saved this man and his family's life.
