Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: My son was driving home the night before his wedding, was not drunk according to the coroner. the police report said he must have went off the road, overcorrected and began spinning and rolling.the car went 469 feet before it came to rest on top of him, the report says he must have been ejected through the sunroof. my son was 34 very muscular. i do not believe that unless there was something mechanically wrong with the car thar he could not have controlled it. i have seen other reports of the same thing happening to other people with the same car. also the airbags did not deploy that alone might have saved my sons life. there were two other people in the car, both hurt seriously. please let me know if this same thing is happening to other people and if there is anything i can do. i still have the car exactly as it was, in storage.
