What owners wrote
I was driving in the hov lane on the 170 at 6:30pm. 2/7/2020. There was a sudden white flash and explosion. All of the airbags deployed. I could not see where I was going. All I could see was out my rear window. I tried to steer the car to the side of the freeway but it stopped in the fast lane. All I could see where cars swerving to miss us. I didn't know if my hazards could be seen as I couldn't see my instrument panel. So I pumped the brakes hoping the lights were working and the cars coming could see them.
