Description of the problem | I was travelling northbound on i-85 in the city of atlanta at around 55 miles per hour. A car from the hov lane abruptly changed lanes at high speed and hit me on the drivers side. This was a big impact and due to this my car swerved to the right lane and hit another moving truck on its drivers side. The car has been totaled by my insurance company. My concern is that, due to the nature of the accident and the impact the air bags of the car should have deployed and they didn't. This i think is a lapse in the safety of the car and is a matter of life and death. The accident took place on 10/17/2015 around 7:30 am on i-85n in the city of atlanta. I have attached the police report for reference. Please investigate the same. |
