My head hit the steering wheel breaking a small bone in my nose and brusing it and my upper lip and gums. I hit my left inside knee which was bruised and hurt. Xrayed, both mouth and knee and neck. The belt did not restrain me. The seat was thrown to a reclining position and I could not, after I came to my senses, make the lever work to upright the seat. The officer had to get in back seat and push it up with his feet. I have a report with that officer's name on it. …”
