Consumer Description

IT WAS DRIZZLING THAT MORNING. I WAS DRIVING IN THE FAR RIGHT LANE. WHEN ALL OF A SUDDEN MY STEERING WHEEL WAS TAKING OVER MY DRIVING. MY TRUCK WENT LEFT INTO ANOTHER LANE ON ITS ON. I SAW ANOTHER VEHICLE COMING UP IN THAT LEFT LANE. ALL I COULD DO WAS ASK MY TRUCK WHAT WAS WRONG. AND I STARTED TALKING TO THE LORD. PLEASE DON'T LET ME HIT THIS TRUCK. PLEASE HELP ME. NEXT THING I WAS PULLED BACK TO THE RIGHT HAND LANE AND THEN OFF THE ROAD I WENT. I WENT THROUGH THE WOODS OVER STOMPS AND BUMPS. AND THEN CRASHED INTO A HUGE TREE. I FAINTED.I HEARD SOMEONE YELLING. I OPENED MY EYES TO LIFE. THE POLICE CAME OUT. AND THE AMBULANCE. THANK GOD I'M NOT TO COOL FOR A SAFE BELT. CAUSE MY AIRBAGS DIDN'T DEPLOY. I WAS TOLD THEY MAY DEPLOY AT ANYTIME SO I NEEDED TO GET OUT OF TRUCK. MY SEATBELT LEFT ITS PRINT ON MY NECK AND CHEST. THE TRUCK WAS CRUSHED IN. WHEELS ON PASSENGER SIDE WERE BENT UNDER TRUCK. A TOTAL LOSS .. *JS
