Consumer collided head-on with an animal weighing approximately 80-90lbs while driving about 45-50MPH on highway. The driver and passenger safety belts extracted "entirely" from their housing and did not retract to restrain occupants. The consumer and passenger suffered injuries as a result. Ts
On 11/20/05 at approximately 10:00 p.m. A deer ran in front of my van. The impact was on the drivers front left at the headlight section of the vehicle. Minor damage was done to the vehicle but the incident caused injury to my wife. The drivers airbag didn't deploy but the passengers did. This caused the airbag to break my wife's wrist in 2 places. At the same time the drivers seat belt locked but the passengers didn't causing my wife to go forward. Both of us were wearing our seat belts.
