Description of the problem | Our daughter was driving our 2013 toyota yaris on the highway approximately 60-65mph, hit a patch of ice and spun out. It is unclear exactly what happened after that as she has no memory of what occurred from the time the car began to spin and was headed straight toward a guard rail and then her being in the car on the side of the road. It is unclear how long she was there before she regained consciousness. The car has significant damage to the right front, left front, left side and left rear. Our daughter sustained a severe concussion with loss of consciousness and anterograde and retrograde amnesia, injured her neck and has a herniated disc at c5-6, broke a front tooth, and has numerous contusions, including on the left side of her head, left hip, and both knees. The air bags did not deploy. She was wearing her seat belt. I do not believe that she would have sustained the injuries, or at least such severe injuries, had the air bags deployed. There were no other vehicles involved in the accident, and there were no passengers in the car. |
