I was involved in a horrible car crash on march 15, 2008. An 18-wheeler swerved into my lane while driving on the highway. When the 18-wheeler swerved, the back of his load hit (the 1st) time on the passenger side. I was then sucked underneath the 18-wheeler, flipped several times while being drug for 100 yards still underneath the 18-wheeler the entire time. Once the vehicle stopped, I was upside down hanging from the 18-wheeler. The airbags in my 2000 honda civic never deployed from any side. I was hit with a major impact at every angle upside down and all around. The er medical had to do on-site procedures due to the damage to my head, arm, and leg. They were unable to take my seatbelt off, it had to be cut off. I had a problems in the past with my driver's side seatbelt getting stuck. On a normal day, I normally would have ro jerk the sealtbelt off of me. Please advise me on this situation. I am just now being able to report the airbag situation because I have been in the hospital due to the terrible accident.
