Escape 4WD 4-cyl

  • Manual transmission

I was traveling North and this person was going South, crossed the centerline and slammed into me, pushing me between two trees and totaling my vehicle. It was a head on collision and my airbag did not deploy and my seat belt did not restrain me from slamming my forehead into the steering wheel. I contacted Ford Motor Company and they told me they would do nothing and send no one to see why the air bag did not deploy. I ended up being brought by ambulance to the hospital where X-rays showed my neck was sprained and I had a scrape to my forehead from the steering wheel.
