In my 2014 chevrolet equinox, noontime, sunday, sitting at red light pointed west, three lane road, waiting to cross 7 lane road, got the green light, proceeded forward up to maybe 10mph and got to about 2nd lane of 7 to cross intersection, then wham, I am hit in the intersection, left side just in front of front wheel, by car that ran red light at full speed going north, basically took front of my car off, spun me 1 3/4 times to now face south, the air bags did not deploy, my body left side head, shoulder and hip hit the left side interior even though my seat beat was on (was dazed and had help getting belt off) and received concussion, neck injury, hearing difficulty, accelerated memory loss issues, damaged shoulder, hip troubles, bouts of unexplained outbursts from little anxiety stimulus, heightened startle response, nightmares, and severe trouble controlling anxiety that were all not present prior to the crash. The car was totaled immediately by the insurance company, and even though witnesses saw that I had the green and that the car that hit me at a 90 degree and estimated to be doing 35-50mph while running the red light, the attorney was unable to block the quick disappear of the vehicle and the police investigators crash site notes and report was very incomplete and wrongly documented the accident. My concern is that I have lingering pains, hip trouble, still low pain left side head, neck tensions, new memory issues, severe anxiety attacks that cause over 220 bp and panic breathing issues, and new struggles with mobility I did not have before the crash, and that with horrific impact that spun me nearly 2 times around, took the front of car, declared total loss -- why did none of air bags go off in this 2014 chevrolet equinox this accident crash june 24, 2018 ??? Attached 5 pics my vehicle next day +crash sketch +florida dhsmv crash report me&my car. J.f.a.
