| I got into a automobile accident on monday oct 19, 2009. i was driving my 2002 bmw x5. someone driving around 50mph hit my x5 rear impact to drivers side. then i believe it dragged along the drivers side. the axles broke, tire went to the highway, the car was bent in a way that the roof was pointing upwards in the middle. the impact was so great that my car (x5) is considered totaled. the issue i have is that my car should be equipped with many airbags. however, non of the airbags opened to protect me. *tr | |||
