IN APRIL 2020, I WAS INVOLVED IN A SINGLE VEHICLE ACCIDENT, MY CAR SLID OFF COUNTRY ROAD, HEADING STRAIGHT DUE TO ICE. I WAS GOING 65 (THE SPEED LIMIT) I HIT A PATCH OF ICE AND WAS TRYING TO GAIN CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE. I SLIDE INTO THE ON COMING LANE IN FRONT OF A SEMI AND IN A SPLIT SECOND TURNED MY WHEEL TO AVOID COLLISION AND AT FULL IMPACT HIT THE DITCH HEAD ON. MY AIR BAGS NEVER DEPLOYED, I IN TURN SLAMMED MY HEAD ONTO THE STEERING WHEEL FROM IMPACT AND I'M STILL SUFFERING FROM CONSTANT HEADACHES AND NECK PAIN.*DT*TR*JB

IN THE EVENT OF MY FRONTAL COLLISION, MY PATELLAR TENDON ON MY RIGHT LEG WAS RUPTURED AFTER MY KNEE IMPACTED THE PLASTIC STEERING COLUMN COVER WHICH HOUSES THE WINDSHEILD WIPER SWITCH, IGNTION SWITCH (PUSH-TO-START), AND TURN SIGNAL MULTIFUNCTION LEVER. MY INJURY REQUIRED SURGERY TO REPAIR MY RUPTURED TENDON. THIS TRIM PIECE DID NOT SHATTER NOR DID IT PROTECT MY KNEE DURING IMPACT WHICH CAUSED MY TRAUMA AND NOW DEBILITATING CONDITION. FOR REFERENCE I AM 5'9 225LBS AT THE TIME OF INCIDENT ON FEBURARY 21, 2020 *LN CONSUMER LIKE TO ADD KNEE AIRBAG DID NOT DEPLOY.*JN

INTERSTATE 5 SOUTH OF COTTONWOOD HEADING SOUTH BOUND BRIEFLY TELL US WHAT HAPPENED?I WAS DRIVING SOUTH BOUND IN MY 2017 JEEP RENEGADE. I WAS GOING TO PASS SOME MORNING TRAFFIC THAT WAS BUILDING IN THE RIGHT LANE. WAITING AND WATCHING FOR A SAFE OPENING AND LOOKING BACK AT THE TRAFFIC IN FRONT OF ME AS WELL. AFTER 5 OR 6 ATTEMPTS TO GET OVER AND WE'LL OVER A MILE I SAW AN OPENING. I ACCELERATED TO GET IN AND BEFORE I KNEW IT I SLAMMED HEAD ON INTO THE BACK OF A DIESEL TRACTOR TRAILERS STEEL DUEL STAGE BUMPER AT ALMOST FREEWAY SPEED' 65-70 MPH FROM SITTING AT ABOUT 55-62 MPH WAITING FOR AN OPENING. I BLACKED OUT AND HAD ONLY HALF A CLUE WHAT HAD HAPPENED' THE OFFICER ON SITE THOUGHT I WAS DRUNK OR HAD BRIEFLY FALLEN ASLEEP BECAUSE OF HOW OUT OF IT I WAS. BUT OVER TIME THE MEMORY CAME BACK.. I PASSED HIS ROADSIDE EYE EXAM AND WAS TAKEN BY HIM TO ST. ELIZABETH'S HOSPITAL IN RED BLUFF FOR A CHEST EXRAY AS I WAS IN THE FIRST PAIN I HAVE EVER BEEN IN. DR SAID I HAD BROKEN CARTLEDGE THROUGHOUT MY CHEST AND SEVER SWELLING AS THERE WAS A FAILURE IN THE AIRBAG AND ONLY THE STEERING WHEEL AND SEAT BELT STOPPED ME. W/ O THE AIR BAG MY LOWER BACK SKIPPED FORWARD IN THE SEAT AS MY UPPER CHEST SLAMMED INTO THE WHEEL AND RIPPED BACK INTO THE SEAT AFTER. I TOTALED MY JEEP AND DID NOT GET ONE AIRBAG. THESE JEEP RENEGADES BOAST A PLETHORA OF 10 + AIRBAGS I DIDN'T GET ONE. *DT *JB
