Ram 3500 6-cyl Diesel

  • 62,492 miles
While driving through an intersection (West to East), I was struck on the left side of my vehicle, pushing me to the right into a traffic lane heading North where I then struck a vehicle head on causing front end damage. My air bags did not deploy on impact. This second vehicle was moving forward but slowing down at the time of impact to avoid the accident. I'm the original owner of my vehicle and have had no prior accidents.
