Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: My vehicle ran head-on into the side of a car that ran a stop sign. my car was so damaged that the insurance adjustor "totaled" it. the impact was so severe that i, the driver, sustained a fracture of the sternum (i was wearing a seat belt with shoulder harness). the air bags of my car did not go off, but the air bags of the car i hit did go off. on impact the brake mastercylinder with the power assist unit was broken off the fire wall by the abs module. therefore i did not have any brakes and rolled for another 300 feet before coming to rest against a tree in the lower shoulder of the road.
