Consumer Description

I WAS ON A BACK ROAD DOING 35 MPH I HIT BLACK ICE AND THE BACK END WENT OUT. I HAD WEIGHT IN THE BACK OF THE TRUCK BUT IT DIDN'T HELP. I LET OFF THE GAS AND THE BRAKE AND TRIED TO SLOWLY CORRECT THE BACK END. IT JUST MADE THE SITUATION WORSE. I KNEW I WAS GOING OFF THE ROAD. MY TRUCK TOOK A NOSE DIVE INTO A SIX-FOOT DITCH THE BACK END CAME STRAIGHT UP AND THE ROOF HIT A TREE FROM THEN THE TRUCK SPUN ON ITS NOSE FELL ONTO ITS LEFT SIDE WENT UP HIT THE ROOF AGAIN AND FINALLY STOPPED ON THE DRIVERS SIDE. I WAS KNOCKED UNCONSCIOUS WITH THE FIRST HIT AFTER THAT I WAS COMPLETELY SCALPED. NEITHER ONE OF THE AIR BAGS DEPLOYED. I ONLY WONDER IF THEY DID I MAY NOT HAVE BEEN SCALPED AND SUFFERED SUCH TRAUMATIC HEAD INJURIES. AT THIS POINT I AM JUST HAPPY TO BE ALIVE. THE INSURANCE COMPANY TOTALED OUT THE TRUCK UNDEPLOYED AIR BAGS AND ALL. *NM
