| I was driving on the freeway doing approx. 60 mph. the road conditions were wet from previous rainfall. my 2000 toyota 4runner sr5 2wd hydroplaned and caused me to spin out multiple times. i struck the concrete center divider twice and continued to spin and finally slid across all four lanes of the freeway and rested on the right shoulder. while the vehicle did feel like it was trying to rollover, i managed to steer the wheel opposite of where it was pulling and kept it upright. however, during the accident and upon impact (twice) neither one of my airbags deployed. both myself and my front passenger were injured which may or may not have been caused by the airbags failure to deploy. i placed a call to toyota customer service center and was told that there are not any current recalls on my model. *jb | |||
