LEFT REAR TIRE WITH APPROX 45,000 MILES ON IT BLEW AT 70MPH ON OPEN HIGHWAY, RESULTING IN LOSS OF CONTROL OF VEHICLE, ROLLOVER, DRIVER INJURED. *TR

LEFT REAR TIRE BLEW OUT ON HIGHWAY AT 70MPH, DRIVER LOST CONTROL OF VEHICLE AND IT FLIPPED AND ROLLED MULTIPLE TIMES. PASSENGER AIR BAG DEPLOYED (NO PASSENGER IN VEHICLE) BUT DRIVER AIR BAG FAILED TO DEPLOY. DRIVER HAD BROKEN BONES, CUTS AND ABRASIONS. DEPLOYMENT OF DRIVER AIR BAG WOULD LIKELY HAVE REDUCED INJURIES TO DRIVER. *TR

I WAS DRIVING ON THE HUTCHINSON RIVER PARKWAY IN NEW YORK AT MODERATE SPEED, EVERYTHING WAS FINE, AND SUDDENLY AND COMPLETELY LOST STEERING. EVERY OUNCE OF MY BEING WAS DIRECTED AT TRYING TO STEER, TO NO AVAIL. THE CAR WAS LIKE A BAD CARNIVAL RIDE CONDUCTED BY DEMONS. I SMASHED INTO THE GUARD RAIL ON THE RIGHT SIDE OF THE HIGHWAY, CAROMED OFF IT, VEERED TO THE LEFT AND SMASHED INTO THE CONCRETE MEDIAN JERSEY BARRIER ON THE LEFT. I WAS ABSOLUTELY CERTAIN I WAS ABOUT TO DIE. THANKS TO THE BARRIER AND MY SEATBELT AND AIRBAGS (I HAVE SIDE-IMPACT AIRBAGS WHICH DID NOT DEPLOY, ONLY THE FRONT ONES DID - THERE WAS NO PASSENGER IN MY CAR), I DID NOT GO INTO ONCOMING TRAFFIC AS I BELIEVED I WAS ABOUT TO, WALKED AWAY FROM MY CAR AND AM SITTING HERE WRITING TO YOU NOW, QUITE BANGED UP AND BRUISED...

ALSO, WITH THE FORCE OF THE IMPACT ON THE SIDES OF THE VEHICLE, PARTICULARLY THE DRIVER SIDE, IT WOULD SEEM TO BE STRONG ENOUGH TO ACTIVATE THE SIDE AIRBAGS, YET THE SAFTEY FEATURE DID NOT PERFORM, BRIDGESTONE DUELER H/T. *SCC
