Driving on I-95 at 65 miles per hour. Hit on passenger side, rear quarter panel from another car attempting to change lanes without seeing my auto. My car went into a high speed spin resulting in the car leaving the highway causing a head on, high impact crash into a canal. Air bag(s) did not deploy, however all windows, sunroof, and trunk automatically opened allowing easy exit.
