After finishing my work day I was driving home in my 2001 Plymouth Neon. I momentarily averted my eyes to make sure that the ashes from my cigarette made their way into the ashtray. When I refocused my eyes on the road I immediatly noticed the vehicle sharing my lane had come to a complete stop while a car in the other lane was directly beside me. Slamming on the brakes, I was unable to avoid the ensuing horrific crash which nearly killed me.

Faulty timing on the part of the airbag resulted in a severe facial laceration and the crumbling dashboard fell directly on my legs, pinning me in my car. The massive injuries delivered unbearable pain while an ambulance extracted me from the twisted wreckage. After several surgeries I ultimely had to have my right leg amputated.
