ON MARCH 17, 2003, I WAS TRAVELING EASTBOUND ON WATERS AVENUE WHEN A HARTLINE BUS STOPPED TWO CARS AHEAD OF ME. I CAME TO A COMPLETE STOP AS THE BUS WAS LETTING PASSENGERS ON AND OFF. A FEMALE DRIVING A FORD TAURUS WAS TRAVELING 45 MILES PER HOUR AND SWERVED TO AVOID MY TRUCK. SHE HIT THE REAR BUMPER, SHATTERING THE BACK WINDOW OF MY CHEVY S10. THE TRUCK PROCEEDED TO BE LIFTED UP AND WAS THRUSTED INTO THE SUV AHEAD OF ME. AS I TRIED TO GET OUT OF MY DRIVER'S SIDE DOOR, I NOTICED IT WAS JAMMED. I TOOK OF MY SEATBELT AND PROCEEDED TO GET OUT MY PASSENGER DOOR. THAT IS WHEN I NOTICED THAT NEITHER AIRBAG HAD GONE OFF. NOTICING THAT, AND ALSO NOTICING HER AIRBAG WAS DEPLOYED. I PROCEEDED TO ASK THE POLICE OFFICER IF MY AIRBAG SHOULD HAVE DEPLOYED. HE REPLIED, "YES IT SHOULD HAVE GONE OFF AND YOU'RE LUCKY YOU WERE WEARING A SEATBELT OR YOU WOULD HAVE SUSTAINED SERIOUS INJURY DUE TO HITTING THE WINDSHIELD." I WENT TO TOWN AND COUNTRY HOSPITAL AND WAS INFORMED THAT I HAD SUSTAINED LOWER BACK STRAIN AND WHIPLASH. MY TRUCK WAS A TOTAL LOSS BECAUSE THE FRAME WAS BENT. I PURCHASED THE CHEVY S10 BECAUSE IT HAD AIRBAGS AND I FELT I WOULD BE SAFE IN AN ACCIDENT. I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW ANY INFORMATION OF ANY RECALLS OR PROBLEMS WITH AIRBAGS OF THE CHEVY S10S. I FEEL THIS IS A VERY SERIOUS SITUATION AND WAS VERY LUCKY I WASN'T MORE SERIOUSLY INJURED. I HOPE THAT MY INQUIRY INTO THIS MATTER IS TAKEN SERIOUSLY. SINCERELY YOURS, [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

I WAS PARKING MY TRUCK IN MY APT PARKING STRUCTURE AFTER WORK ON 9/14/02, UPON FINDING A PARKING SPACE I MADE A 3 POINT TURN TO GET INTO THE PARKING SPACE. I REVERSED THEN STOPPED AND PLACED THE TRUCK IN DRIVE AS I WAS ABOUT TO PULL FORWARD INTO THE PARKING SPACE. AT THAT POINT I BARELY TOUCH THE GAS EXPECTING TO COAST INTO THE SPACE AND THEN SUDDELY THE MOTOR JUST STARTED REVVING UP. I DIDN'T THINK TWICE AND JUST JUMPED ON THE BRAKE WITH BOTH FEET BUT THE TRUCK WOULDN'T STOP. WE ENDED UP JUMPING THE CEMENT PARKING STOPPER ON THE GROUND, WHICH LIFTED THE FRONT END INTO THE AIR ABOUT 2-3 FEET, AND SENT US SMASHING INTO THE BLOCK WALL DIRECTLY INFRONT OF US.
