Description of the problem | Driving to work on freeway going about 15-20mph when all of a sudden i was blind-sided by a chevy silverado truck going 50-60mph. The initial impact was my rear passenger side door. Absolutely no airbag went off on that side. The impact knocked me across two lanes of the freeways oncoming traffic where i was hit again on driver's side. The steering wheel bag went off after the 2nd impact. The driver's side curtain airbags did not go off. Is this the car you have a 5-star crash ratings? My car was totaled. I incurred a severe concussion and multiple fractures that requires surgery. |
