“While stationary in my 1991 Ford Ranger extended cab pickup with the seat belt buckeled I endured a 50+ MPH rear end collision. The momentum of the collision threw me forward and as I recoiled back against the seat, the seat collapsed and allowed me to be thrown backwards with such force as to break the rear window with my head.”
