Driver was thrown though the sun roof. Upon impact, dual airbags didn't deploy. Passenger was thrown outside of the window. Driver was a fatality.
Frame has rotted through and caused the bar from axle to frame to break at the frame. This happened while I was driving causing the car to sway seriously. I was able to pull off the road preventing a possible accident.
