 Description of the problemI was driving on i 90 westbound on 03/01/2014 around 10:48 pm . The weather conditions were difficult as it was snowing and the highway lanes were not clear except the 3rd lane which i was on and it seemed safer than the other two lanes. The weather was causing the vehicles to drive at speeds well below 50 mph as i was approaching the barrington road exit i signaled and waited for the traffic to clear a little so i can safely proceed to the second lane. As i started making the move towards the second lane but not fully changing lanes the car started skidding and i had tried to steer it so that it goes towards the left shoulder westbound . I applied the brakes very slowly so i do not hit the center wall and get out of the way of the other motorists and stop safely but as i approached the left shoulder the car hit the wall and turned around with the car positioned front to the upcoming traffic but still on the shoulder. As the car turned around the left front side of an incoming car hit the front of my car and pushed it up the center concrete wall. The car stopped on the wall(yes on the wall standing in between both eastbound and westbound lanes). I called 911 immediately and they sent the illinois state police to investigate. The ambulance came but no one was injured seriously or taken to the hospital. Only the seatbelt and a good amount of luck made it that i am alive and write you this. My complaint is that even though the seatbelt worked effectively is that when the other vehicle hit me in front of the car the airbags did not deploy. For that reason i am fearful that there is a problem with the airbags and needs to be fully investigated. The car was not involved in any accident before and it was recently at a toyota dealership for a oil change and the vehicle had recently a multi point vehicle inspection.
