Narrative

I WAS STOPPED AT A RED LIGHT ON A CITY STREET AND WAS HIT IN THE REAR BY A CAR GOING VERY FAST. I HIT A CAR IN FRONT OF ME AND MY AIR BAG DEPLOYED. A FEW SECONDS LATER MY AIR BAG BURST INTO FLAMES. I USED MY WATER BOTTLE TO PUT OUT THE FIRE. I WAS DAZED AND HURT AND IF I WAS UNCONSCIOUS RESULTS WOULD HAVE BEEN EXTREME.
