Updated 09/30/11 the consumer stated after being struck by vehicle # 2. vehicle #3 was lifted up and turned sideways and rolled into vehicle# 3. the collision forced the consumer down and forward in the seat causing both of his legs to come up and off the floor, striking the dashboard. The movement is what made the consumer believe the seat belt did not lock into place.
