My front airbag and side airbag did not deploy. I was in motion and so was the other vehicle which was a f150. I do not know the speed of the other vehicle but my speed was about 15.why wouldn't my airbag deploy?

Was involved in a passenger side impact collision while in motion on a city street and the side air bags did not deploy. In fact as a result of the collision, all electronics when haywire. Windows would not roll up/down, display on radio said something like no service, lights were blinking, and the car would not turn off. Impact occurred just behind the passenger front wheel and all the way to the rear wheel. Seems like the electronics could be better protected in a side impact collision. Luckily, there were no passengers on that side of the van. I was actually on my way to pick up the kids from school.
