What owners wrote

I was heading home on 4/30/2017 approx 2 mins away when my car was cut off from another SUV cut infront of me. She misjudged the distance and my car immediately crashed into her car. I was going about 45 MPH maybe a little more. After the crash my car had completely stopped and the driver side air bag did not deflate all the way.
