I was involved in a front end crash at approx 50 MPH and the air bags did not deploy. I have a 2000 ford ranger xlt extended cab. The front impact occurred on the passengers side front head light area. A car pulled out in front of me. The other car took an angled impact on the front drivers side corner and the door and drivers side air bag deployed on their car. The passenger side air bag was turned on in my truck but neither that or my drivers side bag deployed. My head impacted the steering wheel from the crash.
I was in a head on collision involving multiple impacts (two trees and then a iron fence head on) I was estimated as going 50 miles per hour at time of crash with out breaking by police on scene. Both air bags did not deploy. Passenger airbag was turned on. I was wearing my seatbelt however I did suffer a neck injury and have started having headaches 2-3 days after accident. Truck was totaled in accident.
Air bags failed to deploy in front end collision.
My airbags never deployed upon impact I was knocked unconscious and also broke my chin I have a permanent scar. Some one is going to fix it. It is very abnormal and gross to look at it.
