I was involved in a hit and run accident where I ended up hitting a large wooden pole and wall . My seat belt failed also my steering wheel airbag did not deploy even though I hit the pole and wall head on . All my other airbags deployed but it didn't stop my chest from impacting.the steering wheel and my right knee from smashing into the dashboard. The car was inspected by law enforcement and by my insurance company geico. Geico still has the car because it was a total loss.

Son was in an accident last night and all but the drivers steering wheel airbag deployed causing him to hit his head on the steering wheel.
I was lost and hit a turn to fast cause my car to launch and roll into a concrete ditch multiple times off a freeway turnaround. My airbags never deployed.

My son hit slammed on his brakes to avoid hitting the car in front of him who had slammed on their brakes, hit a patch of black ice and slammed directly into the rear end of the vehicle in front of him. Only the air bag by his feet went off. None of the other air bags deployed. The seatbelt also did not lock up immediately. He sustained a concussion, left shoulder injury, neck pain, and bruising to his chest and abdomen from the steering wheel. He had to be transported to the hospital by ambulance.
