Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: On 12/14/03 i was driving east at 50 mph. when a car ran a stop sign and a flashing red light. my ranger edge fully impacted his vehicle directly in the passenger side at 50 mph. the air bags did not deploy. i pushed his vehicle off of the right side of the road and into a telephone pole which broke and came down across the top of my truck. i was wearing my seat belt & shoulder harness. i was knocked out for approximately. 20 minutes. i sustained injuries to my right knee, left elbow and to the back of my head. the front end of my ranger edge was pushed back into the engine compartment about 16 inches. this impact covered the whole of the front end of the ranger with enough force to bend the frame of the truck between the back of the cab and the front of the bed. i have officially informed ford and sent all the required information including pictures but have not received a response from them. they said they might do an investigation??? *la
