The air bags were deployed. The vehicle was towed to a tow yard where it was deemed destroyed and discarded.
Car not stable. It wanders and pitches. Steering is all over the road. Requires constant correcting. Seems very unstable on the interstate at 60MPH and higher. Seems to pitch from corner to corner.
