Description of the problem	Driving on road, headed towards highway. Light was green and i continued to forward to get onto highway. A driver a couple cars ahead stopped suddenly before entering onramp to highway and i slammed into the back end of the truck in front of me. The truck was jacked up some and i hit a steel bumper, with a trailer hitch. My car was not drivable, front right side received most of the damage, but my car was determined totaled as it had more than $14,000 damage. The engine wasn't damaged, the windshield fluid was still in the container, the battery wasn't damaged, yet the car was totaled. The driver of the other car took off after i hit him. In the question above, i checked the affected parts as the airbags, because that's where my concern is. The airbags didn't deploy and i received whiplash with a torn ligament in my neck. I have additional injuries on my knee, as my knee slammed into something, steering wheel, bottom of dashboard or something. All are considered minor injuries, as i walked away. But i'm still currently in pain, with regular headaches. Don't understand why there could be so much damage on my car to total it and yet the airbags didn't inflate. The collision shop was unsure as well.
