Narrative

THE STEERING WHEEL ABRUPTLY PULLED TO THE RIGHT. WHEN I TRIED TO STEER THE VEHICLE BACK ON THE ROAD, THE STEERING DID NOT RESPOND WELL. THE STEERING WAS OUT OF CONTROL. THIS CAUSED MY VEHICLE TO DO A 180 AND GO OFF THE ROAD. THE VEHICLE SUBSEQUENTLY FLIPPED 4 OR 5 TIMES. ALSO THE AIRBAGS DID NOT DEPLOY EVEN THOUGH THERE WAS FRONT END DAMAGE. *AK
