| 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 travelled 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. | |||
