## Narrative
I WAS DRIVING ON HIGHWAY 316 IN MY 2008 FORD TAURUS SEL AND I REAR ENDED A LARGE TRUCK AT A RED LIGHT. I WAS MOVING ABOUT 35-40 MPH. MY FRONT BUMPER AND HOOD WERE TORN APART VERY BADLY. BUT MY DRIVERS AIRBAG DID NOT DEPLOY. THIS MADE THE WHIPLASH ON MY NECK AND HEAD WAY WORSE THAN IT SHOULD HAVE BEEN.
