Product type code | VEHICLE |
Description of the problem | This was a front end collision. The other party spun into our lane (local road) and destroyed our front end. Air bags did not appear to cause the injury (front passenger had a broken rib on the left side and a possible separated sternum). The air bags seem to have deployed properly but did not deflate after the initial impact. This made it difficult to get to the injured person (front passenger). Also, one of the air bags released its chemical into the face of the injured person causing them a lot of difficulty in breathing. The driver suffered no injuries. |
