## Narrative
This air bag and seatbelt both malfunctioned clearly the  air bag malfunctioned while I was about to cross over a bridge on an interstate .. Ciasing a projectile to shoot me in my eye knocking me unconcouiss and I wasn’t sure wht happened until hind sight and clearly the foremsic evidence  supports this .. I woke up hitting.my head on window roof I was in a ditch barreling down a hill twords the bridges legs it stands on and I was already blind I couldn’t see shit nor was I even able to regain control of the vehicle due to the blunt force trauma to my eye and head it was enough to burst my eye ball give me a hematoma and a contusion in my aye and when I finally stopped at about 200 feet 250 maybe from where I left the road I dead stopped hit the concreate leg of the bridge my hands was brassed on steering wheel pushing  bracing my self with everything I had so hard it broke my foot .. no air blag deployed on impact I would’ve felt it on my out reached arms tht was on the wheel and  my face hit steering wheel about 70 it felt like .. it knocked me out cold .. No way in hell the air bag  deployed on impact and the seat belt didn’t lock up no emergency stopping lane control none of tht bs worked .. A matter of fact this air bag caused me severe and worse injuries than the wreck did .. It  wasn’t the air bag tht knocked my eye out it was a projectile from the air bag the bag never mushroomed up period …I have all the medical records and pics to prove the foremsics are
