| Description of the problem | I was driving on hwy and i went to go around a curve and my steering wheel locked up i went off the road and came to a stop looking up at the bridge. When i went off the road my truck hit a hill (it hit around by my radiator) my truck then flipped and then hit another hill (hit by my radiator again) and came to a stop. My airbag didnt not deploy until my truck stop moving. And my seat belt did not lock me in place. I was slung around my front seat. I had to try to hold myself in my seat with my legs (pushing up on my steering wheel) i hit my head on my steering wheel, my window and my roof. I have a cracked femur from my steering wheel. And 2 compressed disks in my back.. When i realized my truck wasnt turning into the curve i hit my brakes but it didnt do anything bc my tires came off the ground and when it stopped i was on the creek bank. |
