Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: I was in a single car accident. i hit a guard rail, went through it and rolled down a 30 foot embankment. i suffered neck and shoulder injuries and back injuries. i have not driven a car since this accident. in the emergency room a nurse said i had a possible spinal compression fracture. i thought my car was suppose to have air bags, i saw the car for the first time since the accident yesterday. the whole car is beat up...the roof, the front, the back both sides, and not even 1 of the air bags deployed. i am so grateful my car had such a high safety rating... yeah right. now i am afraid to drive any car. and now the words air bag safety are a joke to me. *ph *jb **dimsii ivoq entry posted after 12/12/02 cut over to artemis**768013
