| Description of the problem | When backing out of an unpaved parking area i hit a large ponderosa pine tree with the rear bumper. The bumper absorbed the impact with a small scratch to the bumper cover. Upon impact, the car was no longer in my control for it lurched forward about 40 feet into the parking space i had left and hit another large tree with the center of the car. The car accelerated forward so quickly i do not recall when the airbag deployed. Immediately after the collision all four wheels continued spinning and dug small depressions in the dirt until the engine stopped. I had no control over the vehicle after backing into the tree. I suffered bruised ribs and a severe burn to my hand from the airbag. A sheriff assessed the accident and called an ambulance to assess my condition and i did not require hospitalization. There was significant damage (estimated $11,000) to the front of the car. This was my first accident and i'm concerned that my honda cr-v is unsafe for the above reason. *jb |
