Description of the problem | I was driving to work on,a two laned highway and suddenly i just hear an explpsion. The sound of what i found was a head on collision my car went into omcoming traffic. The engine and transmission were not in the vehicle at the scene of the accident. I broke my pelvis amd the seat belt cut me open. I lost consciousness and have a slight brain injury. I was traveling at 55 mph. Right before the explpsion sound my car veared to the right and i heard the road safety bumps. I corrected myself as i always would and next thing i know im in a severe head on collision lucky to be alive. Transmissioms and engines dont just fly out during an accident except at very high speeds... I believe the car was defective as i did not drive in front of another vehicle head on. |
