“Initially traveling at 75 MPH n/b on hwy 99 in fresno county, lost vision (medical incident), wife insisted I pull over. Struck guard rail on right side of road. Second try to pull over caused my vehicle to impact a verizon junction box and then150 feet of six-foot chain-link fencing with anti-climb guards that came off the fence and shattered the windshield. The air bags did not deploy. My insurance agent told me he was going to report this incident to you, but since I haven't heard anything from you folk I've assumed my agent did not follow through. …”
