2011 ford f-150 traveling at approximately 40 MPH traveling straight and another truck turned in front of the f-150. Brakes were pressed and could not stop fast enough to avoid the collision. Truck air bags did not deploy. Not sure if air bag failure or truck wiring/computer communication failure. Would be nice to get more information on why the air bags would have not deployed.

I wrecked my 2011 f150 ecoboost, I hit a 4 ft culvert and 4 trees, to which the 4th stopped me. My air bags did not deploy or attempt to deploy, in which case caused me to have whiplash and severely sprained ankle w/torn ligaments and tendons requiring a half cast and walking boot. How the accident occurred and time was approximately 9:40ish p.m. I came around a curve, with cruise set on 60 MPH, there was a tractor trailer in the majority of my lane, I swerved to the right to avoid it. When I hit the culvert my truck dashboard said something about trac on and ok, I went airborn, the culvert broke a tie rod and the trees took out the passenger side of my truck, the last tree I hit stopped me.....I called ford and they are referring it to their legal department, suppose to be sending someone out to look at my truck (I might add that passenger side window was broke out too) and be contacting me in a 15 day range period. In the mean time....I think it was a safety hazard and needs to be looked into.
