“At highway speed (75mph) a boom noise was heard from the front of the vehicle just after contacting the warning strip on the highway. Vehicle began to swerve and fishtail then flipped end over end 3-4 times approx. One - two hundred yards down the highway. Injured but experienced driver was suspicious of a possible suspension or steering failure and concerned that air-bags did not deploy.”
