Tl* the contact stated that the driver owned a 2018 toyota corolla. While driving approximately 35 MPH, the driver lost control of the vehicle and crashed into an embankment. The driver's air bag failed to deploy. The driver was fatally injured due to injuries to the head, chest, and upper body. The contact stated that the driver may not have been wearing a seat belt. The front seat passenger suffered injuries to the chest, ribs, and collar bone, which required medical attention.
I was involved in an accident where the other driver hit my car on the front left side, close to my door and the airbags did not go off. I don't know if there's any other sensors in the back but I was bit in the back after as well and the airbags still did not go off. I was driving 30MPH on a city street.
