I was in an accident April 7th at 9:30 pm. I was driving down having a problem with keeping my windows from fogging up and had taken my eyes out from the road to look at my defrost knobs to make adjustments. When I looked back up, there was a truck stopped at the intersection which I hit dead on at a speed of 40mph. I believe I had enough time to take my foot off the gas pedal and start to apply my brake before colliding into the rear of the truck. Although I was wearing my seatbelt, it did not lock up, allowing my body to be thrown into the steering wheel & dashboard and thus fracturing my lower back and tibia on left leg. In addition to the laceration on my liver and bleeding ( internal bleeding) around my pelvic bone. My seatbelt restraint did not lock and my airbag did not deploy until after my chest hit steering wheel. These 2 malfunctions could have easily caused much more serious injuries, even death. I have a couple items that demonstrate the force in which chest hit steering column, [xxx] information redacted pursuant to the Freedom Of Information Act (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6).
