Consumer Description

MY DAUGHTER WAS DRIVING HOME AT APPROXIMATELY 11:15 PM IN SNOWING CONDITIONS WHEN SHE STRUCK A SNOW PLOW TRUCK IN THE REAR. THE FRONT OF THE CAR WAS DEMOLISHED AND THE SPREADER DEVICE CAME THROUGH THE WINDSHIELD, CAUSING SEVERE FACIAL LACERATIONS. THE AIRBAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. THERE WAS NO AIRBAG MALFUNCTION LIGHT ON THE DASH PRIOR TO THE ACCIDENT. THERE IS NO BRUISING ACROSS HER SHOULDER OR CHEST FROM THE SEATBELT (YET), THOUGH SHE WAS WEARING IT. THE AIRBAG CONTROLLER AND ECM HAVE NOT BEEN CHECKED FOR STORED FAULT CODES. *JB
