Description of the problem	I was crossing through an intersection turning left right after the light had turned green. Next thing i knew it i saw another car, it was a camry, flying through the light right for me. It was raining here in florida that day, and of course going to brake so abruptly i slid in addition to the speed and was not able to stop in time. I was t-boned at that intersection directly next to where the airbags would have been and they never deployed. I now suffer from 3 herniated discs on the spine pinching the nerves, and i definitely believe this airbag not going off is to blame.
