A truck went tho a red light as I was under the light heading east and the other vehicle was at stop light and for unknown reason it took off hitting the front of my right fender and putting me into a spin. At first I didn't realize what happened. The my van stopped. The police asked if I was ok. I said no.I got hit in the face and right arm by the 2 air bags in front. I was the only person in the van. The air bags were broke open. Never had accident before were air bag went off.

Reported at 248,000 miles, November 2013 CrashInjury

I was exiting a highway traveling 35-40 miles per hour. The road had a slight turn to the right with a small puddle of water in the middle of the turn. When I hit the puddle my truck began to fishtail. I first thought I was hydroplaining but when I tried to do corrective steering nothing was working. The swerving got more and more violent and move the truck through 3 lanes of possible on coming traffic. When I reached the berm on the other side of the road there was a loud bang and my truck canto a sudden stop.
