ON SEPTEMBER 28, 2005 AT APPROXIMATELY 8:00 AM I WAS TRAVELING ON I 295 NORTH WHERE THE SPEED LIMIT IS 65 MPH. I WAS IN THE MIDDLE LANE OF THE INTERSTATE DRIVING A 2001 SATURN SL1 BLUE IN COLOR. THE CAR IN FRONT OF ME WHICH WAS A SATURN VUE SLAMMED ON HIS BRAKES HITTING A WHITE HONDA THAT WAS IN FRONT OF HIM. WHEN THE VUE HIT THE HONDA THE VUE WENT FROM THE MIDDLE LANE OF TRAFFIC TO THE LEFT LANE. I WAS BEHIND THE VUE IN THE MIDDLE LANE AND WHEN THE VUE WENT INTO THE LEFT LANE I HIT THE WHITE HONDA ON THE RIGHT BUMPER AND WAS GOING APPROXIMATELY BETWEEN 55 MPH AND 65 MPH. MY CAR THEN SPUN AROUND AND I THEN HIT THE VUE IN THE LEFT HAND LANE AND MY CAR ENDED UP BETWEEN THE MIDDLE AND LEFT HAND LANE. THE TWO AIRBAGS IN MY 2001 SATURN SL1 NEVER DEPLOYED. MY CAR HAS EXTENSIVE DAMAGE TO THE FRONT END, THE LEFT FRONT TIRE AND WILL PROBABLY BE A TOTAL LOSS. THIS VEHICLE HAD TO BE TOWED FROM THE SCENE OF THE ACCIDENT.
