Description of the problem | I was driving a 2012 dodge ram 1500 in motion, traveling south on hwy 20 at 55 mph. Toyota tundra ran stop sign on mckenzie rd/ hwy 20 and was cited for infraction traveling approximately 45 mph. Toyota tundra hit passenger side of dodge ram cab broadside causing dodge ram to rollover twice in ditch eventually landing on wheels and stopping. Driver side airbags and driver front air bag did not inflate in dodge ram. Only passenger side airbags inflated in dodge ram. I was the driver of the dodge ram and received concussion from hitting head on steering wheel and neck and back injuries from hitting driver side door during rollovers. I was wearing a seatbelt. The dodge ram and toyota tundra were declared a total loss by insurance company. The impact of the collision was severe enough to drastically impact speed of the dodge ram and cause major vehicle damage during roll over. Why didn't driver side airbags deploy? Attached are photos and citation for accident. *dt |
