Description of the problem | Air bags failed to deploy. I was involved in an accident in which my car was t-bone on the pax side and then my car crashed head on into a guard rail. The other vehicle was going at an estimated speed of 35 mph while my vehicle was crossing an intersection at less than 5 mph. The impact of the crash crushed the pax side of the car; jaws of life had to be used to extract the pax in my vehicle. Upon impact my vehicle traveled in a side manner and spun around hitting a guard rail approximately straight on. The entire front of the vehicle was crushed and the driver door was bent on impact. The vehicle was a total loss; nothing in front of the front tires was left on the vehicle. In spite of this, not a single airbag in the vehicle deployed. Police report done on scene as well as emt report state the same. |
