Description of the problem	Good evening, i drive a 2008 mercedes benz c300 sport which i financed from a vw dealer, which sold it as a pre owned/used vehicle still under warranty, regardless, i opted to ensure i had the maximum warranty available. On thursday, sept 03 i was involved in an accident while operating this vehicle. Inside the vehicle was a front passenger and a rear passenger as well, neither of whom i think were wearing seat belts. The accident occurred in wet conditions around a car, control was lost, went over middle medium, and head on with a tree. The point of impact was the front of the vehicle, seemed very dead center in between the two headlights. The trunk of the tree must have been over 5 feet in circumference, it was very big and stable. The gravitational pull and angle of impact caused for way more damage than normally at the speed of impact. The tree was moved back. None of the airbags in the car were deployed, and all three of the occupants were hurt. The car is currently at a towing lot and nothing has been done to correct any of the damage.
