| Description of the problem | I was involdved in a 2mv/pd accident where i "t-boned" a vehicle that ran a stop sign. I after i truck the vehicle i forced both vehicles through a deep ditch and into a field. I dont recall any of the accident but at some point after the initial collision my 2008 jeep commander rolled at least once landing on its wheels. My vehicle roof made contact with the ground just above the driver's seat and also where the windshield and roof meet on the driver's side. After being released from the hospital with a sever concussion and brain swelling, and a lacerated left temporal artery due to by head hitting the side beam on the driver's side, i observed my vehicle. It concerns me because upon observing the vehicle i found that none of the side curtain airbags deployed. I cant say for sure if these airbags would have deployed if it would have made a difference in my injuries but the thought still sticks in my mind. I would hate for this to be a reoccuring theme for these vehicles and possibly cost someone their life. |
