On august 7, 2018, I was involved in an accident traveling about 30-35mph when another driver ran a stop light causing me to hit the side of their car with the front of my car. My air bag did not deploy and I sustained an acute head injury, neck and back soreness. The vehicle was totaled. I would like to know why my airbag did not deploy?
