While driving home from work on Friday, 4/20/2007 in my 2003 Mitsubishi Galant; I passed out behind the wheel from improper blood pressure medication causing my blood pressure to become too low. I apparently drove off the road onto a businesses property and struck the signs in the front yard. My insurance company has totaled my vehicle and says that based on the damage done to the car I must have been traveling at 35 mph upon impact and neither airbag deployed!
