My husband was proceeding in a southbound direction in our 2003 ford windstar when he struck a vehicle (gmc truck) that failed to stop at a stop sign. That vehicle was moving westbound. The impact first occurred with the windstar striking the truck on the passenger front fender, which then resulted in the windstar then striking a curb, immediately followed by the windstar striking a telephone pole. These impacts were all made from the front, however no airbag deployed on the windstar.
