## Narrative
I BELIEVE MY AIRBAGS MAY HAVE SPONTANEOUSLY DEPLOYED WHILE DRIVING ON A STRAIGHT  AT AROUND 45 - 50 MPH, SHOCKING AND  BLINDING ME, CAUSING ME TO VEER OFF THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND CRASHING INTO A DITCH, TOTALING MY CAR. ALL I REMEMBER WAS ONE SECOND, I WAS DRIVING AND THE NEXT, I COULDN'T SEE ANYTHING AND WAS BRAKING & SCREAMING, ON A WILD, BUMPY RIDE, NOT KNOWING WHERE TO STEER BECAUSE I COULDN'T SEE PAST THE AIRBAGS AND DUST/CHEMICALS/SMOKE.
