After I left my girlfriend house I got on the interstate and started traveling to work. I was on interstate 59 south and 20 west for about 15 minutes. The conditions outside were cold and dry. I was traveling at 70 MPH in far left lane on the road when I was approaching the avenue I exit my roof rail airbags deployed on me. When they deployed on me, the pressure from the airbags pushed against my head and through me against the center console in my escalade but it was a good thing I was wearing a seat belt because the seat belt caught me and kept me from getting thrown out my seat. Also the seat belt caught me right under my neck causing a long scar under it. When the airbags deployed it also cause me to swerve left almost hitting the retainer wall that they have on the interstate and that's when onstar came on and ask me if I was alright and continued to talk to me until the police came and did the incident report. After the police did the report I called in at work and drove the SUV home and took it to the dealership. The incident according to my clock happened around 4:30am if not a little earlier.
