| Description of the problem | "takata recall" while entering the ramp to get on the eastex fwy. (ih 59) north bound, i observed that up ahead of me a vehicle was in a complete stop while on the freeway. I tried to switch lanes but i had another vehicle to my left which made it impossible for me to switch lanes. I then ran into the back of the other car which caused the accident. After colliding with the stopped vehicle, i was thrust forward into the steering wheel of my car. The driver's side airbag did not deploy and there was nothing to prevent my face, head, and upper body from crashing into the steering wheel and front windshield of my car. |
