The contact owned a 2013 Nissan Juke. The contact stated that while driving approximately 5 MPH, the front driver-side steering airbag was inadvertently deployed.

During the crash, the driver sustained injuries to the upper left leg and left hand, neck, left shoulder, and torso injuries along with a left forearm laceration and chemical burning from the air bag deployment. A police report was taken at the scene and the vehicle was towed away. The cause of the failure was not yet determined. The manufacturer was notified of the incident.
