| Description of the problem | On 01-08-2018 i had a mva in which the front of my truck struck another vehicle and my air bag was deployed. As you may judge from the picture the impact was minimal. The other vehicle, a 2003 honda civic, was drivable, while my much bigger truck was not due to my condition and the deployed air bag. I was knock out approximately 5 to 7 minutes, i made this estimate by the arrival of winter park pd. I also suffered two fractured ribs on my right arm pit area and one on my left arm pit area, this was according to the er doctor and a fracture of my l5 vertebrae according to my mri report. Four herniated disc and six bulging. It is my sincere believe that some if not all this personal injuries i suffered were related to an over pressured air bag system. Although there are no recalls on my truck, i feel a need to register my complaint. As noted on my pd report i had just initiated a u-turn so i could not have been traveling more than 15 mph on lee rd. (a paved city street). See also odi 11287678. *dsy |
