“My 2018 Hyundai Sonata Hybrid limited was involved in a mva on 4:19/19. It was a front right impact that included the passenger side, right front tire and rim and the passenger door. It was a hard impact. None of the airbags deployed. I was driving straight at about 45 miles per hour on an 8 lane divided city highway. The other vehicle came out of a shopping center to the right, came over 2 lanes then hit me as I was driving in the 3. The other driver was given a ticket for an improper lane change, came into my lane and hit my vehicle.”
