While driving approximately 50 mph, the steering failed when attempting to steer to the right. The vehicle went across a median into oncoming traffic and crashed into a guard rail. The air bag did not deploy. The driver was transported to the emergency room for injuries to the back, neck, and knee. The cause of the failure has not been determined.
