Single car accident resulting in severe front end damage into the engine compartment with no air bag deployment. Driver sustained severe head trauma as a result.
My son was in an auto accident. An SUV ran a red light when he had a green light. His truck was smashed in the front and was totaled. The air bag did not deploy. Vehicle was a 1998 toyota tacoma pre-runner. I've heard that the air bag will not deploy at 35 MPH. I don't know if this is true.
