Car wreck damage impact by other driver hit head front of vehicle, caused drivers and passenger side doors to not open, airbags did not deploy!
I was in a car accident today with 2 of my 5 children no air bags deployed! And with how hard we got hit they should have. We were stopped getting ready to make a left turn on a city street
I was slowly backing out of my garage when all of a sudden my 2015 traverse accelerated to 40-50 miles per hour to my horror. I felt like I was in the indy 500. The car backed into a tree in my front yard, then at the same high speed lifted off the ground and raced forward and crashed into 2 parked cars in my back yard. Had the 2 parked cars not stopped me my neighbors feel I would have gone into the lake in my back yard. My air bag did not go off, yet the one in the empty parked car did go off. All 3 vehicles were a total loss.
