There was considerable damage to the front end of our truck. The air bags did not deploy. We were taken to the hospital.

I was involved in an accident in my new ford f-150 king ranch on the above date traveling on the henry hudson parkway (manhattan) southbound. My truck was struck in the rear passenger door by an unknown vehicle and caused us to spin out 2 times at 60 MPH and hit the center concrete divider almost directly head on. We hit to the passenger side of the front of the truck.. The airbags didn't deploy. The canisters on the side impact airbags opened and the powder was all over but the bags didn't deploy. I don't think this was normal and I feel it should be looked at. There was $31,000 damage to the vehicle which wasn't totaled. Is this something that this agency will look into for me?
