| On 2/25/01, my 16 yr. old daughter was traveling on a dirt road at a speed of approx. 25mph and hit an icey spot. she lost control of the vehicle. the drivers side door and drivers side front sustained damage as did the passenger side front and side. she was seatbelted in9 there were bruises on her chest and neck from the seatbelt. the airbag did not deploy and the seatbelt somehow released and she was found on the side of the road. she fracured 7 vertebrae in her back, left facial bone fractures, small fracure to the right face,& bilateral pnemothoraces. and a closed head injury. she had to have surgery on her back to correct the injuries, and will not be able to return to school for at least 6 weeks. i am questioning why the airbag did not deploy and why the seat belt was released. *ak | |||
