Hi all,
Air bags did not deploy in my vehicle but on the other vehicle. Speed was under 25mph. I won’t have an assessment until next week. I do have a state of the art repair center locally who have an excellent reputation
Here is the other vehicle - I jumped out of the passenger side of my vehicle and ran to hers. She was in shock and lost her sight for about five minutes. I explained to her that she was in shock and asked her if she had any medical or health related concerns we should tell the first responders. I had her talk to me about anything, so I asked her simple questions like her name, where she was from, how old she was and after a few minutes she relaxed and eventually walked on her own recognizance to the ambulance
I saw the impact prior to it occurring - I pushed myself back into my seat by standing on the brake and footwell and pushing against the steering wheel. I then yelled as loud as I could like you do on a roller coaster - my right lower leg swelled up and I had whiplash but so far so good - sleep is off but jittery for a few days post incident
I’m so so so so very glad everyone walked away.
it gave me pause about a few things - among them are owning an expensive vehicle that can be thrashed in an instant even if you are abiding the rules of the road - and that owning a large vehicle like our trucks are safer. I’ll never own a small car again
