Rusted Hitch Receiver

Recently my 2011 Chevy 1500 was rear ended as i sat at a red light. The guy behind me slammed into me because he "dropped his water bottle cap" and was looking for it on the floor. Um, yeah..............( think texting) anyway after the sheriff wrote up the report (he got a ticket btw) i took the truck to the collision shop.

Long story short, they discovered my hitch receiver (Factory installed) was twisted also, but the main thing about it is that it had rusted through on the back side of the bar and he said at anytime this thing would have snapped off while i was pulling my trailer.. ,, I guess it was a blessing that this happened, but damn......btw the truck was undercoated...
