Dt*: the contact stated the vehicle was involved in a multi car collision, both the driver and passenger seats failed. The rear and the front end of the vehicle were damaged. Upon rear impact, a popping noise was heard and the seats reclined. The driver and passenger suffered back injuries. The police filed a report at the scene and the insurance company deemed the vehicle totaled.

I was driving between 0 and 5 MPH when I was hit from behind. The vehicle that hit me was a 1997 toyota camery. His appx. Speed was between 40 and 50 MPH. When I exited my vehicle I noticed that the drivers seat was completly layed back. I didn't know it at the time but it appears the metal in the seat broke, causing the back of the seat to collapse. The seat was in the total reclined position.
