| Description of the problem | This is a well documented accident as it involved a police chase of a felon who ran a red light at approximately 50 mph. My car was hit on the left front side and is deemed totaled. No air bags deployed in my vehicle and i required emergency transport to the local hospital emergency room. This also involved a police shooting incident with the death of the other driver. The vehicle is pending towing to a salvage yard. The primary concern is a question of defective air bag deployment and future potential injury to others. |
