Narrative

I was in an accident on the interstate 195 in New Bedford, MA. My car was pushed into the guardrail on the driver's side. The air bag in the the side of my seat deployed and ruptured releasing hot gases and burned me through my clothes. I received 1st and 2nd degree burns and was treated at a local hospital. The area that ruptured looked like it was where a patch and been sewn into the air bag. The car may be totaled and has not yet been inspected.
