## Narrative
As I was driving in the icy weather feb 2022 going down a slight incline approx speed 10-15 mph  on the road the power steering went out and the traction control lights came on and air bag light went off and I lost steering control wound up in a 6 ft drop off of a culvert may have lost consciousness briefly as I didn’t know I was facing up and down and man living near the culvert came up to the truck asked if I was ok and said your not going anywhere your tires are off the ground and I did not realize I was  air bags did not deploy as the airbag light malfunction came on prior so they did not deploy.  I had to higher a crane operator to lift the truck out of the culvert and a wrecker to take it home.
