“Shortly after I got onto I 270 dublin, ohio, suddenly the car started swirling and went from the 5th lane ended up in the ditch. The crash was very hard but the air bag did not come out. The axle was damaged and the car was a total damage. No one could figure why this happened or how. I did not get ticket for this accident because there was no speed involved and amazingly did not hit anyone and the result of this I lost my car.”
