| Description of the problem | Our 2 week old 2016 jeep wrangler willys was in a solo collision in july 2016. My partner hit water, hydroplaned, and then hit a guardrail with the front end at 50+ mph on a 4 lane highway. She went airborne, flipped several times and was ejected from the vehicle. The seats came out and roll bars failed, but the airbags also never went off despite the initial impact. We do not know if she was wearing her seatbelt. She suffered a traumatic brain injury, collapsed lung, shattered pelvis, broken back, broken hip, broken eye socket, compound fracture of her ankle, broken tailbone, multiple deep lacerations and was in icu for weeks. The airbags never went off! .. Updated 04/11/17 *bf updated 07/12/2017*js |
