I was traveling northbound approximately 30 MPH on a dry paved two lane road in my 2002 chevrolet trailblazer ls equipped with side impact airbags. I was hit (t-boned) by a mini van traveling approximately 30-35 MPH traveling the wrong way on a one way street with a blind intersection. Impact was directly in my front passenger side door, pushing the front passenger seat inward against the center console, rolling up the floorboard, breaking the hinges of the rear passenger side door, ultimately flipping my vehicle over onto the drivers side and pushed approximately 10 feet into the intersection, causing my drivers side mirror to roll into the drivers side, and shattering the drivers side window. Other undercarriage damage was also caused do to the impact. Failure: my 2002 chevrolet trailblazer is equipped with side impact air bags. Passenger side airbag failed to deploy, despite major damage as result from direct impact to passenger side front door. Drivers side airbag failed to deploy despite impact from rollover onto drivers side, resulting in moderate damage. Consequences: if a passenger would have been seated on passenger side serious injuries if not fatal injuries would have resulted due to amount of intrusion of passenger front door into the passenger compartment with no SRS protection. Driver of vehicle sustained minor injuries from being "tossed" against drivers side interior front door area with shattered glass.
