I was driving home from work, this guy in a blue hyundai would stay in his lane, so I sped up to get around him, in turn he started racing me, so I went a bit faster to get around him, was about to round the corner so I went to slow down and my rear end fishtail, I hit the guardrail and spun out. Both my crumple zones on the back and front were affected but my airbags did not deploy! Thankfully I'm just really sore and not seriously injured!

February 22, 2017 7:15pm : I was on my way to pick my 3 children up at my parents. I was going the speed limit 50mph with my significant other following behind me. A deer jumped onto the road and I swerved the vehicle to avoid hitting the deer. I swerved 3 times before hitting a culvert. Upon hitting the culvert, my vehicle flipped and also rolled into the ditch. Although I walked away with a few scratches and a bruise on my leg, it could have been a lot worse. Two days later, I went to the impound to get my personal belongings out of my vehicle. I realized the air bags did not go off even though there is plenty of damage done to the vehicle. I have attached photos to support my complaint.
