Description of the problem	Vehicle was in an accident with a rollover. The vehicle was in an accident where the front right corner hit a piece of farm equipment. The drivers side airbag deployed and pushed the drivers left arm through the drivers side window. The vehicle then hit a ditch and rolled. The drivers arm was crushed by the car. The drivers side curtain airbag did not deploy. Had the drivers side curtain airbag deployed there would have been no injury.
