“On Thursday, February 17, 2022, I drove home from work in Waycross, Georgia. I was driving my properly-maintained 2017 Honda CRV. I was wearing my seat belt, and the shoulder harness was properly secured across my chest. The day was clear, and at 4:03 p.m., I approached the intersection of Jenkins St, Tebeau St, Plant Ave, and Francis St. This intersection is in the downtown area; it is treated like a perpendicular intersection, although, as you can see from the attached photo, it is not, in fact, perpendicular. There are stop signs on Jenkins and Tebeau; travelers on Plant and Francis do not have to stop. Because of how Francis Street curves onto Plant, and because of the fact that Francis emerges from under an overpass, visibility is poor. I was on Francis St, which becomes Plant Ave headed east. A construction worker driving a 2016 Chevy Silverado K350 TK was fully stopped at the stop sign at the Jenkins St intersection. After stopping, he pulled into the intersection, T-boning my CRV and sending it into a series of spins. My head violently hit the window several times as the vehicle spun. When the CRV finally stopped, my first thought was, "Where are The airbags?" Side curtain airbags had deployed on the passenger side of the vehicle, but no airbags had deployed on the driver's side anywhere--or from the steering wheel. An ambulance took me to the local emergency room. I have a concussion. Had the airbags deployed as expected, that might not be the case. My safety was put at risk by the airbags' failure to deploy--basic physics requires that in a violent collision, the driver is protected after being propelled into the door and window. The CRV is in a Copart lot. I have requested that it be kept available for inspection. The CRV was deemed totaled; I do not know if anyone inspected the airbags. There were no prior warnings. During the instrument panel went berserk. Multiple error messages flashed simultaneously, despite the front end not being hit.”

“I WAS REAR ENDED ON THE HIGHWAY (101-N) BY A TRUCK GOING 20-30 MPH ABOVE THE SPEED LIMIT. DURING THE COLLISION, THE DRIVER AIRBAG DID NOT DEPLOY. MY SPEED LIMIT WAS 65-70 AND THE TRUCK SPEED LIMIT WAS MORE THAN MINE WHEN I TRY TO GO FASTER WAS STILL NOT ABLE TO OVIDED. AFTER THE CAR SCREENING YOU ARE IN CRASH I WAS A WAKE NOT SURE HOW IT STOPED AND WAS IN SHOCK FOR NOT SURE HOW LONG THEN I SAW A MESSAGE ON THE SCREEN SAYING CONTACTING HONDA BUT NOTHING HAPPEN. I TRY TO TOUCH IT BUT IT NOT WORK. I STOPED THE CAR MOVED THE KEY THEN TRY TO FIND MY TELEPHONE THANK FULLY MY CHARGER CORD WAS ON AND I PULLED IT FROM BEHIND SEAT I CALLED 911 THEN THE POLICE TOOK IT FROM THERE. I HAVE SO MUCH PAIN IN MY HEAD MOSTLY LEFT SIDE AND NEAR MY NECK I AM IN SO MUCH PAIN WHEN I AM IN THE SON MY VISION IS NOT OKEY. AND IF I WALK MORE THEN 15 MINUTES I AM HAVE THE WORST PAIN IN MY FEET LEGS BACK HEAD AND I DO BELIEVE ALL MY BODY IS HURTING BUT SOME OF MORE THEN THE OTHER MY RIBS ARE BETTER BUT LEFT RIBS HURT WHEN I DRIVE MORE THEN 20 MINUTES.
