| On april 8th, this year, i was in an auto accident in my 2008 chrysler pt cruiser and broke my back; there is a chance i may not be able to work as a hospital inpatient nurse ever again because i have to be able to lift 100 pounds. my 6 air bags did not deploy and my seat belt malfunctioned (it lengthened during the flipping of the car) allowing my body to turn around, facing the rear, and crushed my spine against the steering wheel. i had just finished a 12-hr night shift at the hospital, was just one mile from home, swerved to the shoulder to avoid a rabbit. the tires slipped off the shoulder into the grass (the speed limit was 50mph & i usually drive a little under), i was very tired & over-corrected which caused the car to roll sideways 4 times and then hit two trees. it was about 8am and no one found me for almost 1/2 hr. i was conscious the entire time. i fractured one vertebra (t11) which was surgically fused with my t10 and t12 vertebrae, as well as the 3 vertebrae repaired with titanium rods and screws, and packed with donor bone. i'm blessed it was not worse. i was told that it was a miracle that i survived. i am also very interested in forcing chrysler to do a recall on the 2008 p t cruisers. if i | |||
