Consumer Description

I WAS INVOLVED IN A REAR END ACCIDENT. THE PERSON WHO HIT ME WAS GOING APPROXIMATELY 50 MPH. I WAS STATIONARY WAITING TO MAKE A LEFT TURN. THE FRONT DRIVERS SEAT BROKE CAUSING THE BACK PORTION TO SLAM INTO THE REAR SEAT AND THE BOTTOM TO COMPLETELY RAISE UP. AS A RESULT I HAD NO CONTROL OVER THE VEHICLE CAUSING SOME SECONDARY DAMAGE. IF THERE HAD BEEN A PERSON IN THE BACK SEAT THEY WOULD OF HAD CATASTROPHIC INJURIES AS THEY WOULD HAVE BEEN CRUSHED BY THE DRIVER SEAT. THE AIRBAGS WERE EMITTING A "GAS" BUT THE AIRBAGS NEVER DEPLOYED. I DO NOT HAVE PHOTOS OF THE SEAT BUT THE BRUNSWICK COUNTY EMS DID TAKE PHOTOS OF THE SEAT. AND I AM SURE THEY CAN PROVIDE IF FURTHER INVESTIGATION IS WARRANTED.
