| Description of the problem | At approximately 6:35 a. M. Cst i stopped at a red light. I recall hearing what i thought was a woman screaming, immediately followed by the sound of tires screeching as when brakes are quickly applied. I glanced into my rearview mirror and did not see any oncoming headlights. It was then that my car was hit from behind. I have no recollection of being thrown backward from the rear impact, or being thrown forward from the impact of hitting the car in front of me, or stopping. I also do not recall the deployment of the air bag in my steering wheel. My next thought was realizing that i was in a reclining position and seeing the bent hood of my car while looking through the right side of my windshield. I was in a great deal of pain. My lower back was burning and i had great pain in my left ribcage. I could also tell i had my breath knocked out of me. My injuries included the following: 4 broken ribs on the left side (#6, 7, 8, and 9) lower lumbar strain bruises across my abdomen, right hip, inside of left calf, inside of right calf, outside of my left leg sprain of right ankle gash on the front of my left leg i have a picture of the broken seat if desired. I realize that the accident occurred some time ago but i do not recall if i sent this information to you or not. |
