| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: I drove from the state of virginia, heading to reno, nv to visit family. i was driving a 2003 pontiac grand am se1 3.4l. the conditions of the road were wet, as it was raining. the posted speed limit was 75mph - i was travelling at 68mph. i was involved in a single car accident, in fort bridger, wyoming. a semi-truck cut in front of me, in the left lane, from the right lane - splashing alot of water over my vehicle. i hydroplaned and my car spun out of control to the right. i hit the right side of the road guard rail with the left/front of the vehicle, and then the car slid across the road ramming the left side of the road guard rail, dead center in the rear end. i was wearing my seat belt, but i was still slammed and jolted forward and sideways. neither of my dual front air bags deployed. the speed that was calculated by the highway patrol at the time that i hit the guard rail was at a minimum of 60-65mph. the air bags should have deployed with either impact of the front and rear, at a minimum speed of 35mph, and they did not. i have pictures of the vehicle from the incident. |
