I WAS ON MY TO WORK AND A DEER RAN OUT IN FRONT OF ME. I OF COURSE LIKE OTHERS SWERVED TO MISS THE ANIMAL CAUSING ME TO ROLL 3 AND A HALF TIMES SIDE TO SIDE WILL WEARING SEATBELT. I RECEIVED SCRATCHES ON LEFT SIDE OF FACE AND STRUCK STEERING WHEEL WITH MY CHEST AT THE BOTTOM OF MY STERNUM. CAUSING SEVERE CHEST PAIN AND SLIGHT PNEUMOTHORAX TO LEFT LUNG AND SOMETHING HAD GOTTEN BEHIND ME CAUSING LEFT BUTTOCK BLACK BRUISING AND BRUISING ON MY SPINE CAUSING SLIGHT PARALYSIS FOR QUITE SOME TIME. NO AIRBAG DEPLOYMENT HAPPENED AND I HAVE PICTURES OF ALL THIS INCLUDING PICTURES OF AIRBAG COMPARTMENTS BUSTED OPEN AND SENSORS SHOWING THAT WAS SUPPOSE TO DEPLOY THEM. I HAD TO BE EXTRICATED FROM CAR AND FLOWN BY HELICOPTER TO TRAUMA CENTER. SEATBELT HELD AT WAIST BUT DID NOT LOCK AT TOP HOLDING ME STILL AT ALL. I STILL HAVE PAIN IN MID STERNUM AREA.
