I was involved in a rear-end collision pushing me into another vehicle on 06-06-18. The headliner and drivers seat began to smoke, filling the car. The smoke was white, grey, and smelled of sulphur. In addition, the "service airbag" light appeared on the information display, the flashers/hazards, came on automatically, and the car would not start and had to be towed. The vehicle was slowing, almost to a stop before being hit. Ohio highway patrol accident # 67-0834-67 5 vehicles involved. Unable to upload.
