At full 50 mph speed and the passenger rear came around and hit the wall as well. The air bag never deployed. I hit the wall with so much force that the bed of the truck embedded in the rear of the cab. Mind you this was a 3/4 ton truck it takes a lot of force to have this happen. I feel that if my abs breaks have pulsated 10 times per second per wheel I would have came to a controlled stop on the right shoulder of the road with the trajectory I was heading. The air bags never deployed. Good thing I was wearing my seat belt. The time of the crash was. 3:45 am.
