“I was driving on I-95 n in northern va around mile marker 145, around noon, when all of a sudden both driver and passenger airbags deployed. I was on flat smooth surface road and did not strike any obstacles in the roadway. After regaining control of the vehicle, I pulled it to the side of the road avoiding contact with other vehicles. I have a claim filed with north american Honda(vehicle-1995 Honda Del Sol vtec). The dealership(pohanka Honda fredericksburg, va), at first, said that they did not have an opinion on what transpired , because this matter is too legally sensitive. …”

I can't be sure what happened, but it felt like the cruise control sped up the car when the tire blew. I awoke in the hospital about two and one half hours later. Not only had I been unconscientious, I had amnesia. …”
