Tl* the contact owned a 2016 hyundai accent. While driving 55 MPH, the contact's vehicle collided with an elk. All the air bags in the vehicle failed to deploy and there were no warning indicators illuminated. The driver sustained injuries to the back and had broken glass in her hair. The front seat passenger sustained cuts from the broken windshield glass and back pain. The rear passenger sustained head and back injuries that required medical attention.

Passenger airbag light for the past few weeks randomly turns on and off reading that there is no passenger with someone in the passenger seat. And will come on even with no passenger.
