Glad you didn't get hurt, you are a lucky man. So, are you saying nobody else saw you go off the road?
Was it the big main hatch glass you were able to break out?
Nothing slowed down, it happened in the blink of an eye. As I told Franc, I saw road - grass - water, and it was about that quick. I was told the airbag deployment has to do with many different sensors and the angle I went apparently did not trigger it, because it did trigger the passenger side.
I was the last car in the pack and the road was EMPTY, I was down in the car trying to get out, realizing that even though Franc and Evan were with me, they were not
with me. It was the large rear main hatch that I had to bust additional glass from, but it was broken, thank god. Once I got out of the car, I was soaking wet and bleeding all over my head and hands, and I called the cops from my barely functioning cell phone, and hoped Evan and Franc would be coming back. It appears they went by the scene 2-3 times looking for me, but as you can see from the pics, there was nothing to see from the road. It was not until I climbed out and was standing on the side of the road that they saw me.
