Was on my way to class, was hit on passenger front side of car, then hit head on by sitting truck, air bags never deployed (have pictures to prove this), and I have been disabled from work with ongoing daily pain. If airbag would have deployed I know I wouldn't have been thrown around in the car like I was.

Driver of another vehicle was traveling down a major highway on the wrong side of the hwy, when the car in front of me swerved and I was hit head on in my 1999 chrysler lhs concord by the oncoming vehicle, where I tried to swerve over but was too late my chrysler went air born, flipped and rolled, out of the impact my air bag didn't deploy and I was thrown from the front to the rear, back to the front of the vehicle. I have read several complaints as mine regarding the chrysler air bags not deploying, and on a head on collision, they are automatically suppose to deploy. I'm now in and out of therapy and without a vehicle. But thankful to still be alive.
