Description of the problem | My son was involved in a car accident involving a 2016 chevy cruze. Airbags were deployed as they hit another car sitting at a red light. The vehicle my son was in was turning left causing most of the impact to the front passenger side of the car. He was in the passenger seat and was the only one injured. A large, deep, clean cut on his forehead was his biggest injury. Doctor explained that it seems a piece of metal or hard plastic made the cut. It was clean and down to his cranium. We have been unable to identify the object that caused this injury and we're lead to inquire about components in the airbag. |
