| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: I was driving in a 1997 chrysler sebring lxi, when i began getting light-headed, and knew that i was about to pass out. i turned into a parking lot to get off the roadway, and the last thing that i remember was turning into the lot (because i indeed did pass out, due to a medical condition). my vehicle continued to travel through the parking lot, i struck a raised concrete sidewalk (at a store front) that was approximately 10 to 12 inches high, then struck the brick wall and store front window, entered the building and struck display cases, furniture, etc. upon entering the building. when i came to, i was still in the vehicle, vehicle was running, and the airbags (neither one) had deployed. i immediately called 9-1-1 from my cell phone to summon police, fire & ems. the investigators from the local police indicated that when i passed out my foot had to have hit the vehicles accelerator to cause me to travel the distance, hit the sidewalk, and continue into the structure (building). i am very concerned that the safety features (air bags) did not deploy! *tr |
