I would first like you provide the circumstances of the accident. I was struck by an oncoming truck as I began a left-hand turn. I had completely stopped before I was hit. The driver stated he was doing 45mph, and he was driving a 1997 toyota tacoma. The damage to the Civic was completely to the front engine compartment, and both airbags did deploy. …”
