What owners wrote

Myself and two others just recently got into a car accident and my airbags didnt go off . Thank god that we had our seatbelts on. A car cut a bus off on hwy44 wwst in inverness fl, we all had to hit our brakes and ending up hitting another car at 30-40 MPH. When made inpack with the other car the airbags did not go off leading to injuries and had to go to the hospital.
