Tl- the contact owned a 2015 Toyota Prius. The VIN was not provided.

The front passenger, the contact, sustained fractured right arm, fractured pelvis, ribs, serum and a few bumps and bruises on lower leg, and chin. The driver sustained a head injury, a concoction, multiple facial fractures and lacerations and a broken nose. The contact stated that the front driver's head rest and the seat belt seemed broken and caused the driver to end up in the rear seat (unconscious). The contact and the driver were taken to the hospital in an ambulance. The vehicle was totaled and was towed to a tow yard. The dealer and the manufacturer were not called. The failure mileage was approximately 70,000. The contact did have information about the other driver, except that the driver operated without a valid driver's license. Fe.
The passenger side 2nd row seat belt is stuck, it doesn't roll or release making it unusable for a passenger to use it.

Now this seat belt is useless for anyone sitting in that seat.
