Ram 1500 4WD 8-cyl

  • Automatic transmission

While driving on a curve to the left at highway speed steering wheel locked up. I tried to turn steering wheel and it would not move, hence I drove off highway and truck rolled end for end. Seated belt was used and air bag was deployed. I sustained internal injuries and was hospitalized.
