Me and my two boys where headed home and I was taking a curve at 50mph a went to slow down to 45 when I started to take the curve I heard some kind of metal bone breaking sound and my truck jerked to the oncoming lane and a jerked it back but after that everything went loose and me and my boys went sideways of of the bank of the curve and we rolled 3 times before we stopped tank up. My air bag didn't go off neither the passenger's airbag. I heard a hissing noise I got my boys out as fast as I could with some help of bystanders breaking the passenger side window so we could crawl out. They carried my boys and helped me hop to the other side of the road. Me and my boys went to the hospital. They were alright thank god I received some injuries to my back, neck, stomach and head.
