Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: On januray 23. 2004, i was rear-ended on the freeway. i was going about 65-70 mph. a person hit me from the rear, he was travelling around 100-110 mph. i lost control of my tahoe, i went sideways, then i shot forward and hit the center divider( on the center right side of my car) at about 65 mph or faster, i was shot backwards into a guard rail and came off of that and then the tahoe rolled on to its side, skid for about 30 feet and then it finally stopped. my air bags(front nor side) never depolyed. i feel that if they had my wife nor i would have been injured. i know that they are designed to deploy when you hit sometime like a brick wall at about 10-15 mph. what do you call hitting a cement divider at over 65 mph.*ak
