Car was hit on the driver side quarter panel causing it to spin and crash head on into highway divider. Air bags did not deploy resulting in additional injuries!!
My father in law was driving my vehicle when a GMC yukon pulled out in front of him. My father in law hit the side of the yukon and only one air bag deployed which was the passanger side,my father in law was taken to the hospital bc of no feeling below his waist and the paramedics were unable to stabilize his blood pressure.
