## Narrative
I was rear ended on the freeway that l caused my car to hit a guard rail, head on. I remember getting rear ended and then blacked out on hitting the guard rail. I then had chest pain.  My driver's side airbags deployed with the driver's side front foot area airbags deploying.  The airbags on the steering wheel did not deploy.  There's a dash cam footage of this below that shows my car hitting head on with the guard rail at 31mph.
