What owners wrote
I was involved in a head-on accident on a freeway. The driver of the other vehicle had fallen asleep, and, therefore, had not slowed down her vehicle. The impact took the front driver's side wheel off my vehicle and we rolled part way over until the ditch stopped my vehicle. My vehicle was claimed a total loss. The airbags did not deploy. I have a photo of the vehicle after the accident and the vehicle is currently located in brandywine, md at the insurance auto auction waiting for a sale date.
While closing the drivers door on a 2000 ford windstar the drivers side seat air bag deployed causing injury to my wife's left arm.
