| Description of the problem | My teenage son lost control of my 2007 toyota rav4 and crashed into a tree. I believe the car hit the tree at an angle on the passenger side headlight area. He has been charged with speeding, but i don't know exactly how fast he was going. Three of his friends were in the car, all wearing seat belts. The front seat passenger suffered a serious closed head injury, broken leg and arm, and a punctured lung. The driver had a broken clavicle and the driver's side backseat passenger broke his pelvis. The driver and passenger front airbags deployed, but the passenger side curtain and torso airbags did not deploy, which i suspect caused the front passenger to be more seriously injured. The car is demolished from the passenger headlight area to the back passenger door. The car has never been wrecked before and no airbags have ever deployed before. |
