Description of the problem | Hit a stopped ups delivery van on a major road as he was making a delivery. I swerved to the left and hit the left rear corner of his vehicle with the right front of my kia soul. The vehicle became slightly airborne and turned more than 90 degrees, almost facing the oncoming traffic. My head went through the windshield causing severe lacerations to my forehead and right side of my face indicating that the airbag did not deploy in time to prevent substantial injury. Although the airbag did deploy at some point, there were no visible indications or pain that the airbag did in fact make contact with any part of my face. |
