Owner Narrative

THE ELECTRONIC TRUNK OF MY AUDI A5 FAILED TO STOP CLOSING ONCE IT HIT ME ON THE HEAD. THE HATCH KEPT CLOSING IN UNTIL I WAS ABLE TO MOVE MY BODY OUT OF THE WAY HOWEVER AT THIS POINT THE HATCH ALREADY CAUSED A LACERATION TO MY SKULL WHICH RESULTED IN A VISIT TO THE EMERGENCY ROOM. VEHICLE WAS PARKED AND THE ENGINE WAS ON.
