| Description of the problem | On november 30, 2010 our 2011 camry was involved in an accident. The camry was struck by a 1999 honda crv, the point of impact was behind the right front headlight. The crv continued to travel along the right front quarter panel, breaking the right front tire and stopped at the front of the right front passenger door. The estimated speed of my camry was 10mph and the honda crv was traveling at approximately 40mph. The front air bag on the camry deployed but none of the side curtain air bags deployed. The impact of the vehicle caused my daughter, riding in the backseat on the passenger side, to hit her head on the window. The impact caused the window to shatter. A witness at the scene observed her stocking cap fly out the rear window. My daughter was taken to the doctor and was cleared and we were advised to observe her for the next 24 hours to make sure she did not have a concussion. The doctor also stated that she was lucky to be wearing the stocking cap as it helped cushion the blow. The damage on the camry was severe enough to total the vehicle. I tried to get an answer from toyota as to why the side curtain air bags did not deploy but as of yet i have not received a response. |
