THIS PUSHED US INTO THE ONCOMING TRAFFIC LANE STOPPING WITHING 2-3 INCHES FRONT A FRONT END COLLISION. THE PASSENGER FRONT SEAT SLID FORWARD TO THE DASHBOAD,CAUSING MY LEGS AND WRISTS TO HIT THE DASHBOARD. THIS CAUSED SEVERE BRUISING AND CONTUSIONS TO MY SHINS (THE WORST BEING MY RIGHT LEG), MY WRISTS WERE SPRAINED FROM DASHBOARD, NECK WHIPLASHED BOTH SIDES AND SPINAL/LOW BACK PAIN FROM PELVIS BEING PUSHED UP, CAUSING COMPRESSION ON LOWER SPINE, LOWER RIGHT ABDOMINAL PAIN WITH NAUSEA, DIARREAH AND LOW GRADE FEVERS.
