WHILE SITTING STOPPED AT A RED LIGHT, I WAS HIT IN THE FRONT BY A DRIVER WHO DROVE INTO THE WRONG LANE. THE DRIVER'S FRONT AIR BAG DEPLOYED. AFTER THE COLLISION, I WAS UNABLE TO REMOVE MY SEAT BELT. THE RED RELEASE BUTTON WOULD PUSH DOWN, BUT THE SEAT BELT BUCKLE WOULD NOT COME OUT. A POLICE OFFICER HAD TO CUT THE BELT TO FREE ME. THIS COULD HAVE BEEN DANGEROUS HAD THERE BEEN A FIRE OR OTHER SITUATION WHICH REQUIRED ME TO ESCAPE QUICKLY, BECAUSE I WAS TRAPPED IN THE VEHICLE. THIS WAS A 2008 INFINITI G35 SEDAN RWD JOURNEY. IT WAS REPAIRED AND SOLD.
