Glad to hear you're OK; the vehicle did it's job by sacrificing its body for
yours. Regarding what hit your right knee, could it be the bunch of keys? All
modern cars except Porsches and Saabs have the
ignition on the right side of the dash or steering column, both places that
might be impacting during a collision, pretensioners or no. Or a column mounted
shift lever (if so equipped).
I've seen more than a fair share of red light runners, particularly at one
horrible intersection (anyone in my area, the I10 E onramp by the LLUMC).
Anyway, great to hear you're ok.
