Description of the problem | I got into a automobile accident on monday oct 19, 2009. I was driving my 2002 bmw x5. Someone driving around 50mph hit my x5 rear impact to drivers side. Then i believe it dragged along the drivers side. The axles broke, tire went to the highway, the car was bent in a way that the roof was pointing upwards in the middle. The impact was so great that my car (x5) is considered totaled. The issue i have is that my car should be equipped with many airbags. However, non of the airbags opened to protect me. |
