Tl*- the contact was driving when she lost consciousness for about 30 seconds. The contact believed that loss of consciousness was due to fumes in the passenger compartment. At the time of the incident the vehicle was traveling at 40 MPH under dry conditions. As a result the contact's vehicle crashed into another vehicle. The contact stated that she was unaware that she was in a crash, and that the air bags deployed. She regained consciousness because of the gases caused by the air bag's deployment.
