Description of the problem | Was about 2 tenths of a mile from a stop sign. As i was beginning to make my approach, the car accelerated, lurched forward and sped across a four lane highway before i could react. The car was t-boned on the passengers side. The impact straightened my vehicles trajectory from 90 degrees to about 30 to 45 degrees. I then impacted a guardrail with a somewhat nearly head-on angle. After i went through the guardrail i then impacted a tree head-on which brought the vehicle to a stop. My passenger's side curtain air bags deployed but the front (dash) air bags did not. My passenger received a broken collar bone, fractured rib, scalp lacerations (stitches), a concussion and multiple bruises from head to toe. |
