| Description of the problem | I was traveling east on highway 70 in nc in a 2014 white nissan altima on a four lane highway under rainy conditions. A hyundai was traveling west on hwy 70, hydroplaned, crossed the median and hit me head on causing her car to spin and her passenger side then struck my driver's side. My steering wheel airbag deployed but the driver's side airbags did not deploy. The second impact damaged my nissan's driver side door to the point it had to be forced open. The hyundai's passenger side airbags deployed in both the front and back seats which is the side that struck my driver's side. My 2014 nissan altima was damaged beyond repair and totaled by the insurance company. I sustained multiple injuries with the majority being on my left side. .. Updated 11/13/14 *bf |
