Tl*the contact drove a 2007 lincoln town car, which was a company vehicle. While the vehicle was parked, the contact placed the vehicle into drive. The vehicle traveled four feet and then accelerated. He attempted to steer and apply the brakes, but the vehicle only accelerated more. The vehicle finally stopped after striking two poles and another vehicle. The other vehicle then struck three additional vehicles. The contact's vehicle spun around and was facing the rear of the vehicle that he struck.
I was recently in a car accident in baltimore, md. And when I got hit my air bags didn't deploy even though my car took a huge hit to the front drivers side. I would like to find out why this didn't happen.
