Vehicle was involved in a front end impact of at least 45 mph. This was almost a direct front collision, though damage was slightly greater on one side of front end that the other.

My chest (sternum) impacted the steering wheel with extreme force, body was propelled forward in a twisting motion and neck and spine underwent severe trauma. I am still suffering from the injury after over 7 months. I called Mazda local offices and main headquarters and was told they would do no investigation as it was time and cost prohibitive.
