On 01-22-20, in austin texas my daughter, [xxx], was killed in a head on collision while she was driving her 2007 toyota corolla. The other vehicle that was involved in the head on collision was driving a 1993 chevrolet silverado pickup. When the vehicles collided my daughter was killed because she was pinned against the steering wheel, unfortunately the airbags did not deploy and save her. The other driver received severe facial injuries. Why didn't her airbags deploy?
I had a wreck in a 2007 toyota corolla, it was a frontal impact . The airbag did not deploy and the seat belt did not lock up. I hit the windshield at 35 MPH. I was injured requiring very expensive tests.
