Was pulling out onto the highway and road was clear when checked then a car came speeding down the highway without lights and I wasn't able to get out of the way in time and that car swerved in the same direction I was going and hit my front driver side of my car...my car is supposedly equipped with front and side airbags but with the impact, as bad as it was, did not deploy either sets of airbags. The impact caused me to hit my head on the window and end up with a concussion. My car is only a 2007.
