My husband and I were driving home one night from a friends birthday. At approx. 1:20am I was driving north in newark pompton turnpike located in wayne, nj 07470. My husband lifted the emergency brake (the reason is unknown) and the car instantly started spinning on a straight road. Within second the brakes released and sent the front of the vehicle airborne head on into a utility pole resulting in the instant death of my husband because the passenger side airbag did not deploy and my husbands cause of death was multiple force blunt trauma to upper torso I myself was 17 weeks pregnant this accident also LED to the result of death to my unborn child. I also was pinned under the dashboard and received multiple bilateral fractures and internal injuries. I was induced to a coma for 1 months before I work up now I deal with many leg problems and titanium rods, screws, and pins in both legs for rest of my life.
