Tl* the contact owned a 2008 mazda cx-9. The contact stated while driving at 45 MPH, the contact saw a raccoon and veered off the road causing the contact to hit a tree. The air bags deployed with extreme force causing the contact to have a migraine. A police report was filed. The contact sustained a chest contusion and received medical attention. The vehicle was not drivable and was towed to a junkyard. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired.
