Description of the problem | On january 6, 2019, i was involved in a serious multi-vehicle collision on the highway in which my toyota camry was violently rear-ended by another vehicle traveling at 70mph. The collision was of such force that my camry was rammed forward causing me to collide into another vehicle directly in front of me and a domino effect of three additional vehicles in front of him. Physically, i sustained a cervical spine injury, rib contusion, left knee joint damage as well as cuts and bruises. What i found most disturbing of all is that not a single one of the many air bags in my toyota camry deployed. The vehicle behind me and the vehicle directly in front of me all had functioning air bags that deployed during the collision. The chain reaction crash put me in a dangerous position (sandwiched by two vehicles) and my vehicle sustained the most harmful impact of all the vehicles involved. Since the date of the accident, i have had restless nights as i keep thinking how my life was in jeopardy and why my airbags did not deploy as a safety feature during this collision. |
