I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD ON THE FREEWAY WHERE THE SPEED LIMIT WAS 75 MPH. WHILE DRIVING MY PASSENGER SAID I PASSED OUT, FLOORED THE GAS PEDAL AND JERKED THE STEERING WHEEL TO THE LEFT. I THEN DROVE THROUGH THE MEDIAN AND INTO ONCOMING TRAFFIC REACHING 90 PLUS MPH, MISSING TWO CARS, AND JUMPING A 4 FOOT BARBED WIRE FENCE WITHOUT TOUCHING THE FENCE. I CONTINUED INTO THE DESERT UNTIL MY PASSENGER WAS ABLE TO PUT THE TRUCK IN PARK HITTING A FEW TREES AND BUSHES ALONG THE WAY. I THEN WOKE UP WHEN PARAMEDICS AND FIRST RESPONDERS WERE ALREADY THERE. ME AND THE PASSENGER WERE BOTH WEARING OUR SEATBELTS AND MY PASSENGER DID NOT AQUIRE ANY INJURIES. I HAD A SIEZURE TO CAUSE THE ACCIDENT AND HAVE HAD MULTIPLE ONES SINCE THEN A MONTH AGO. THE FRONT OF MY TRUCK WAS MANGLED AND THE FRAME WAS BENT IN TWO PLACES. THE ISSUE IS I SUFFERED 4 FRACTURES IN MY SPINE TOP OF THE LUMBAR AND BOTTOM 3 OF MY THORASIC. I AM CURIOUS AFTER TALKING TO THE MECHANIC WHO LOOKED OVER MY TRUCK AS TO WHY MY AIRBAGS DID NOT DEPLOY DURING THE ACCIDENT. IN SUMMARY I WAS IN AN ACCIDENT THAT TOTALED MY TRUCK, AND THE AIRBAGS DID NOT DEPLOY AND I SUFFERED MULTIPLE SPINAL FRACTURES.
