Description of the problem | I was traveling on an interstate highway when i came upon an accident involving multiple vehicles. I took evasive action and was able to stop completely avoiding the vehicles involved, and just behind one vehicle that was partially blocking the right lane. I was struck from behind which caused the drivers seat to go into a reclining position. My truck was propelled forward with me in a reclining position. I felt a secondary impact, which damaged the front of my vehicle. Because i was in a reclining position, i was unable to control or direct my vehicle. None of the airbags in my vehicle deployed. I somehow pulled myself erect and eventually came to a stop on the inside grassy median of the highway. |
