“I was driving my 2008 Volvo S40 stopped in traffic when I was in major/severe rear end collision. The force of the impact (70+ MPH) pushed me into a vehicle ahead which caused severe frontal damage that went all the way past my radiator. Property damages over $17k and airbags failed to deploy resulting in injuries.”
