| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: Firestone tire defect - steeltex -- last week my son and two friends was driving my excursion at about 75 mph when the tread on the left front tire separated. this was witnessed by an on-coming driver. my vehicle ran off the road hit a culvert and flipped end-to-end. there was extensive damage to the vehicle both front top and rear. the air bags did not deploy. one passenger was life-flighted from the accident scene. very fortunately all of the passengers were wearing seatbelts -- all were injured but none seriously -- the injuries of the passenger that was life-flighted was not as serious as initially believed. |
