I was sitting at the red light when a Suburban was speeding and wasn't paying attention. He hit me from the back which cased a 4 car wreck. My trunk was literally pushed to my front seat. The front of my car was under the car in front of me. My car was totaled. I hit my shoulder on the steering wheel along with my neck and shoulders. This wreck made me disabled. The air bags never deployed. It was a major accident wasn't much left of the car and my air bags never came out. The air bags more than likely would have saved me from that horrible impact. I am now disabled for life and my doctor mentioned the air bags would have taking the force of the injuries.
I was on a four lane public highway and was boxed into the far right lane as I was attempting to switch lanes to avoid traffic. Another car sped up and boxed me into the right lane. I slammed on the brakes and decreased my speed from 45 mph to approximately 20-30 mph. I crashed into a completely stopped Jeep Cherokee. My Nissan sustained heavy frontal damage and would later be totaled. The airbags failed to deploy. The car I ran into was a Jeep so the bumper ran through my engine and upward. Had I been going faster this action would have continued through the windshield. The only thing that saved myself from injury was the fact that I was wearing my seatbelt. I sustained the typical whiplash and sore back but thankfully wasn't severely injured in the crash. I have pictures of the severity of the impact as well as testimony from a local officer who inspected the crash that the airbags never deployed.
