What owners wrote

I was involved in a low-speed 45 miles a hour front end collision. I was in a ford f-150 4 door 2-wheel drive. My seat belt worked great. The air bag went off but did not hit me in the face. The front of the truck was crushed badly but with no fluid leaks. After the wrecker pull my front bumper free from my front tires I was able to drive the truck back home about 100 miles. All system worked great. The truck showed that the ford safety system worked well. I had no injuries except for my left hand.
