| Description of the problem | I was stopped on the highway behind a truck making a left turn when i was rear ended by another truck going 60 mph. My 4runner was crushed between them, totaled, and my air bags never deployed. I hit the steering wheel so hard i bounced off of it and broke my seat from the momentum. When i awoke i had slid into the back seat (which is all that was really left of the vehicle). Although i am thankful to be alive, i feel that at that force, the airbags should have deployed! |
