Tl* the contact owns a 2009 pontiac g5. The contact stated that while driving downhill approximately 45 MPH on a gravel road, the vehicle spun out of control and landed upside down. The contact sustained bumps, bruises and lacerations to different parts of the body. The vehicle was destroyed and towed to a salvage facility. A police report was filed of the incident. The air bags did not deploy during the impact.
My daughter was driving north on tulls creek road in moyock, mc just north of poyner road when she lost the ability to steer the car and went off into a ditch causing minor injuries and extensive damage to the car. I didn't much about her reasoning until reading about the recent recalll on the ignition switch issue.
