| Description of the problem | My wife was driving on a little st. In fostoria,ohio on oct 16 at approx. 4 pm. Her speed was around 35 mph and the road conditions were good. She had a large vehicle on her driver side as this is a two lane highway. A blazer/bronco crossed from the oncoming lane attempting to turn on a side street (south union street, cutting right in front of our 2004 hyundai santa fe. The impact stopped her vehicle immediately and drove her car into a truck waiting to turn onto little street from the same side street. Although the accident caused a front end impact to our hyundai, the airbag in our hyundai did not deploy. My wife sustained injuries to her left collarbone and shoulder, and also to her right knee, requiring a trip to the emergency room and xrays. She was also unable to work for a short time due to her injuries. |
