Consumer Description

I WAS DRIVING THROUGH AN INTERSECTION AT APPROXIMATELY 15 MPH WHEN I WAS STRUCK IN THE DRIVER AND PASSENGER DOORS BY A VEHICLE WHO WAS RUNNING A RED LIGHT. THE OTHER DRIVER DID NOT SEE ME AND STRUCK ME AT FULL SPEED, PROBABLY AROUND 45 MPH. MY VEHICLE WAS HIT SO HARD THAT IT SPUN AROUND AND SLID ABOUT HALF A BLOCK. NONE OF THE AIRBAGS, INCLUDING THE SIDE IMPACT AIRBAGS, DEPLOYED, AND THE ENGINE DID NOT SHUT OFF. THE CAR WAS DEEMED A TOTAL LOSS BY MY INSURANCE COMPANY. *JB
