Description of the problem	I was driving on the highway 59 feeder road southwards towards university blvd in the left most lane. A car came and hit the passenger side of my car. Due to the impact my car rolled over onto the curb, hit the grass and flipped back into the lane again. I was in complete and utter shock and trauma and soon enough i noticed the blood on me. My left side (head, shoulder and elbow) was paining badly. My seat belt was still on, my leg was on the brake and windows shattered and glass was all over the place, air bags were not deployed. I turned off the engine, moved shift rod into park position and applied the hand brake. A man and his son (i believe) witnessed the accident and came to me within a few minutes. They called ems. While waiting for emergency to arrive, i got my cell phone from my backpack, which was on the passenger seat, and called my father. A few minutes later, another person, came up to me and said he witnessed the accident as well and stayed near my car. I did not move from the drivers seat or open the door because i was too afraid to open the door... Few minutes later, the emergency personnel came. They opened the car door and cleared a few things and put me on a stretcher. They put a neck brace and restrained my head from moving and strapped me onto the stretcher. They picked up my backpack as well. My dad came as they were putting me on the stretcher. I was immediately rushed to the nearest er. .. I have concern about the airbag. Why the airbags did not deploy?. Would you be able to investigate? I authorize my father (phone number provided below) to discuss about this incident. Updated 08-20-14 bf updated 8/28/2014 js ..
