I was driving on may 12 from fillmore ca to lax airport I was on freeway 5 passing valencia by the exit of freeway 14 when a white ban hit their brakes I did the same thing but I think the brake of my car did work properly and I lost control of my car so I went to the left line and a grey civic hit me on my driver side by the front tire I had my two kids with me they were so scare because I was blinding from my head my air bags never came on if you have any please call [xxx].
While driving, another motorist failed to stop at a red light and the consumer hit him on the passenger's side and the air bags did not deploy.
