| Description of the problem | Driver in a 2005 ford focus 4 door turned left in front of me. My prius v hit the ford focus on the front passenger side corner. My prius was damaged in the center of the front. The speed of my vehicle is less that 40 mph, the speed limit. I believe i was traveling about 30 mph before i hit the brakes had about 25 feet to stop. When we hit the ford it was like hitting a brick wall, my prius popped up off the ground about a foot. Neither of the front air bags deployed. My wife, the passenger in my prius fractured her sternum due to the pressure of the seat belt. Updated 06/06/2014 *js |
