I inadvertently veered off side roadway, (va highway 220) colliding with a tree/roadside shrubs, etc (was knocked unconscious as forehead hit steering wheel on initial impact). Airbags did not deploy allowing me to sustain a head injury that knocked me unconscious. . . Forehead was gashed with significant bleeding. I was transported by ambulance in unconscious state. Damage to vehicle is in excess of $8,000 so far as vehicle still in repair shop with massive front end damage that affects steering linkage, etc. The impact of vehicle against foliage, trees shrubs, should have forced air bags to deploy and I believe that I would not have sustained a head injury that rendered me unconscious with mild concussion and could not control vehicle leaving roadway.
