Description of the problem | I was broadsided by a car that ran a stop sign as i was driving through an intersection on a city street. The collision knocked me up onto the curb and into a short block wall. The hit was so hard that it bent the frame of my car at the mid-line and even bent the roof of my vehicle. The airbags never deployed. I was injured in the accident as the hit was so hard and there was nothing to cushion the blow. |
