The air bags did not deploy, my seat belt did not lock and because of this my chest hit the steering wheel. I visited the urgent care the same day and as a result of the accident i suffered strained ligaments and muscles in my neck and back and a bruise and scrape on my chest. I am still suffering. *nm |
