Description of the problem | We were driving north and came upon an intersection where we put our turn signal on, and slowed down and stopped, about to turn west. The light turned red, and we slowly drove west onto the crossing street. Another vehicle that was driving south proceeded through the red light, at about 45 mph, and hit the 2014 jeep patriot broadside, passenger side. The jeep was pushed and spun 90 degrees from the impact of the collision, we were tossed around violently in our seats, with the passenger obtaining contusions and abrasions to her arm closest to the impact site. She had also banged her head against the window and strained her neck from the impact, on the passengers side of the jeep. And finally, had strained the muscles in her lower back from getting thrust at the direction of the impact site. The driver had suffered an impact abrasion to his left arm, leaving an imprint of the seat belt material into his skin. He had also suffered muscle strains and lower back strains from the force of the impact. Again, while being hit from a vehicle going 45 mph, and leaving damage that had literally started to fold the vehicle at the midpoint, and collapsed the wheel and axle, not a single airbag had deployed in this vehicle. If the vehicle that had collided with this jeep had been driving near 65 mph, death would have been almost certain... Updated 10/06/14 *bf updated 3/25/2015 *js |
