Owner report 10649947 · 2014-10-25 (October 25, 2014)
ON FRIDAY, DEC 13TH, I WAS DRIVING HOME IN CRUISE CONTROL AT 60 MPH. MY BLOOD PRESSURE DROPPED SUDDENLY AND I PASSED OUT AT THE WHEEL. I WOKE UP JUST IN TIME TO CRASH, NO TIME TO REACT. I IMPACTED, HEAD ON, A CREEK BANK AFTER JUMPING OVER THE CREEK. MY AIRBAGS DID NOT INFLATE AND I IMPACTED THE STEERING WHEEL SO HARD I BROKE THE STEERING COLUMN OFF THE DASHBOARD. 3 DAYS IN THE HOSPITAL WITH A COMPRESSED CHEST, IMPAIRED BREATHING, AND MASSIVE BRUISES. I HAD A COLD AT THE TIME AND IT MADE RECOVERY SLOWER. *TR
