## Narrative
On 9/18/23 we were hit head on by a person driving a large ford.  The air bags deployed on my CClass.  I was unable to see after the accident.  My nose is huge!  Face is bruised.  I had severe eye pain. Neck pain etc.    There was chrome on the floor after the deployment.  Major concern what was in this airbag.  However, I’m sure it saved my life.  My car is totaled. It was a fabulous car.    We had scheduled a sunroof recall next week at Mercedes in New London, CT.  I learned of this recall after my car recently past emissions. My car only had 39,000 miles. I’m going to miss it.
