Description of the problem | Driving west on rt 20 in granby ct, passing through intersection on a green light, was struck head-on by another vehicle, both cars were totaled & towed away. On the other drivers' car, all of the air bags deployed, there were no injuries, while on our chrysler 300, none of the air bags deployed, causing injury to left elbow & right shoulder. Lack of air bags deployment may have been a good thing since we subsequently received a recall notice for the drivers' air bag inflator/detonator defects causing severe injuries & deaths. |
