Narrative

The contact owned a 2017 Buick Enclave. The contact stated that while driving at approximately 20 MPH and then making a turn, a deer jumped out onto the road and after it was hit, the vehicle was sent into a marsh wetland. The contact stated that all the air bags failed to deploy and that the passenger side hit a tree and the driver side of the vehicle was partially in the pond. No warning lights had illuminated. There were no police on the scene, however, the fire department arrived and the contact was unsure if there was a report filed. There was no injury therefore no medical attention was required. After contacting the insurance company, the vehicle was towed and later deemed destroyed once an inspector was sent out. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 75,000.
