I HAVE A 1992 CHRYSLER NEW YORKER. I WAS DRIVING ON WILBETH RD., AKRON, OH AT A VERY SLOW RATE APPROX. 25 M.P.H. WHICH WAS THE SPEED LIMIT. I HIT A POTHOLE AND MY AIRBAG DEPLOYED AND I HAVE INJURIES DUE TO THAT ACCIDENT WHICH I WENT TO THE HOSPITAL AND WAS EXAMINED AND X-RAYED. I HAVE PICTURES OF THE AIRBAG AND THE POTHOLE I HIT. UNFORTUNATELY, THE STREET REPAIR WAS DONE BEFORE I GOT A PICTURE OF THE ACTUAL HOLE BUT YOU CAN SEE THE PATCH IN THE STREET OF THE SIZE OF THE HOLE, APPROX. 1FT. BY 1 FT. AND IT WAS LIKE THE STREET WAS CAVING IN NOT ACTUALLY A POTHOLE. THE STREET DEPARTMENT HAS BEEN FIXING THIS ROAD FOR ABOUT A WEEK.
