Traveling at 65 MPH on freeway. We were clipped by another car on our right front bumper. Our SUV slid to the left crossing 3 freeway lanes and we hit head on into the concrete freeway divider. Our SUV slide down the freeway along the divider and made one complete roll, landing again on out tires. The front damage to the car is massive. No airbags deployed. In addition the front passenger seat belt did not lock. It stayed loose during the accident.
I owned 2000 toyota land cruiser. The front hood came down hard while I was checking the level of the engine oil. The lift cylinders ( 10 years old / 2000 model..) are not be able to hold the weight of the hood. And the hood came down hard on my head while I was checking the engine oil level... The lift cylinders of the engine hood should be recalled for the safety reason....
