Consumer Description

ON DECEMBER 1ST I WAS REARENDED AT INTERSTATE SPEED (65 MILES PER HOUR) JUST PRIOR TO IMPACT I HAD TURNED MY STEERING WHEEL TO THE RIGHT TO LESSEN THE IMPACT TO THE VEHICLE IN FRONT OF ME. HOWEVER IT IS CLEAR FROM THE DAMAGE TO MY VEHICLE THAT MY CAR MADE CONTACT ON THE DRIVER SIDE CORNER WITH THE BRIDGE AS WELL AS THE ENTIRE PASSENGER SIDE OF THE VEHICLE MADE SIGNIFICANT CONTACT WITH THE CAR IN FRONT OF ME. MY CAR HAD BEEN AT A COMPLETE STOP. NO AIRBAGS WENT OFF CAUSING ME TO SUFFER SERIOUS HEAD INJURIES AND SCULL FRACTURES. IN ADDITION, UPON IMPACT, MY CAR BURST INTO FLAMES. I WAS PULLED UNCONSCIOUS FROM MY BURNING CAR BY BYSTANDERS WITH ONLY MOMENTS TO SPARE
