I was a victim of a head on collision on 3/19/2020. I suffered a broken leg and numerous bruises and contusions as a result of the collision. After I was transported via ambulance to the emergency room for treatment and surgery, my car was towed and then assessed by insurance inspectors as "totaled." I was driving on a city street going 35 miles an hour when a saw a vehicle coming towards me veering wildly from one side of the road to the other. The weather was sunny and dry at the time. I remember wondering at the time of the accident why my front air bag did not deploy. It surely should of, I would think, and maybe would have prevented my broken leg.

Tamara recall... On may 26, 2019 we were traveling down from our mountain home in sequoia mountains above porterville. It was starting to snow at 4 pm. Going between 10 and 15 MPH, rounding a curve, in low gear the car lost traction went down a 200 foot embankment. Smashed head on more on the passenger side, into a large boulder the car flipped on its driver side and landed in a creek. The front airbags did not deploy, side airbags did however. My wife and I suffered injuries she suffered a fractured sternum, I suffered a lower fracture in my vertebrae.
