I was traveling down the road and another vehicle pulled out in front of me, I tried to stop but was unable to. I hit the other vehicle head on at about 45 mph. My seatbelt did not lock and the airbag did not deploy. It did about $5000 worth of damage to the front end of my truck and I have very serious pain in my chest, neck, and back because of this. My vehicle has depreaciated about two or three thousand dollars and I now have nightmares about driving the truck and having a wreck and killing myself.

problem #12

Dec 202000

Ranger 4WD

  • miles
Driving 60mph on interstate pheasant flew low in front of verhicle, as the pheasant disapeared in from my view the truck did an abrupt swirve to the left, I had no steering control, the truck went from the right lane accross passing lane and hit head on into flat concrete berrier, the air bags did not deploy, over $9,000 in damage including new frame. When the truck was being hoisted onto rollback I noticed that the tie rod was hanging. The yoke where the tie rod is bolted to (cast iron) was broken off and I noticed a lot of pheasant remains on the tierod and suspension. I am very concerned that a small bird as this would cause the cast iron yoke to break, also why my airbags did not deploy. The front tire and rim did not impact the concrete berrier. When I saw the pheasant I did not react to it, I did not turn the wheel or hit the brakes, this may sound funny but the truck swirved left dirrectly into the berrier. The seat belt saved me from serious injury. My main concern is the pc that the tie rod mounts to and no air bag deployment
