What owners wrote
The vehicle was involved in a head on crash into a telephone pole and the air bags did not deploy. The front seat passenger was injured and the driver struck the steering wheel and died at the hospital from internal injuries. We are trying to determine why the airbags did not deploy. The passenger was not wearing a seat belt and it also appears that the deceased driver was not wearing a seat belt.
