Narrative

Daughter was in accident head on and loss control of car, couldn’t stop because KNEE AIR BAG deployed and wouldn’t allow her to step on brake. The car finally stopped from engine damage after about 200 yards but she almost went into oncoming traffic because she was unable to push the brake down. VERY UNSAFE
