Consumer Description

I WAS ON THE ROAD PACK SADDLE IN JONESTOWN TX 78645, WHEN I PULLED ON TO ROAD 1431. A LARGE TRUCK WITH A CRASH GUARD HIT ME ON THE DRIVER'S SIDE @ 60MPH. THE ACCIDENT TURNED MY CAR INTO A HORSE SHOE, AND SENJT ME INTO ON COMING TRAFIC. ALL OF THE AIR BAGS WERE ACTIVATED AND SAVED BOTH ME AND MY WIFE BUT, THE RESIDUE THAT CAME WITH THE ACTIVATION PEPPERD ME IN THE FACE AND RUINED MY GLASSES. IF I HAD NOT HAD MY GLASSES ON,I WOULD HAVE LOST MY VISION DUE TO SUCH. WE WERE ON A COUNTY ROAD.TURNING LEFT AND MY VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION.
