As a result, the vehicle crashed into a tree. The contact stated that only the side air bags deployed. The contact noticed smoke coming through the air vents. The contact was unable to open the doors and had to exit through the passenger window. Upon inspecting the vehicle, the contact noticed that the cvc joint under the vehicle was fractured. The contact sustained back, arm, neck, right knee, and right hip injuries as well as cuts on his left arm that required medical attention. A police report was filed.
