Vehicle collided with a large amount of dirt and flipped over 3.5 times. The driver's seat belt had come loose and the consumer was thrown from vehicle. The consumer's son was driving down a gravel road too fast and lost control. (no loose garvel-had just come off of a black top road 4 mile before the accident) the consumer's son had swirved back to the left and went off of the side of the road, hitting a bar ditch head on and then had flown 51 feet and rolled 3.5 times, in the passenger's direction, before…
Was rear ended by a vehical traveling about 2o MPH+ suport bar at top edge of seat damaged my back between the shoulder blades.
Experienced intermittent loss of steering control. Would note the steering as being very loose or soft, even none responsive. Driver had no control of this vehicle while entering a curve and struck another vehicle luckily without major damage sustained.
