Description of the problem | My son and i were driving my gmc sierra 2014 to his friends house before we crashed. My son was driving and has his learner's permit, however, had been driving for 4 months. At a fork in the road i told my son quickly to make a right rather than left and we crashed into an improperly grated wall of dirt causing the truck to go from 40 mph to 0 with my son having his seatbelt on, but i did not. Neither airbags deployed and both of us sustained serious injuries. My son broke his nose and i am suffering from a broken nose, concussion and a burst vertebrae. Neither airbags deployed which could've made a huge difference on our injuries. |
