On 1/4/01 I was in a car accident that totalled my 1996 honda accord. The other vehicle ran a red light and I hit him broadside going about 30 m.p.h. The whole front end crunched like a can and my airbags did not deploy. I need to know why they di not deploy. When I purchased the car it was one of the safety features I thought I would have. My insurance premiums are lower due to this safety feature, but what good are they if they do not work, I feel I was lead into a false sense of security. I would appreciate any assistance you may be able to provide.
