Got into a frontal collision and the airbags didn't deploy. Srs airbag system problem appeared on the dash.
Air bag did not deploy on impact. Driving approximately 15 MPH on a residential road when brake's locked and car did not respond, running directly into a telephone pole while on a hill/slope. Car picked up speed before impact. Air bag sensor or error appeared on impact, car smelled of smoke/burning. Front body and frame had extensive damage, ie. Radiator cage(?).

We were hit on the drivers and passengers sides of the vehicle by another vehicle that was travelling at an estimated 90-100 MPH, and the airbags did not deploy. My vehicle was travelling at about 50 MPH on an interstate when it was struck on the driver's side first. The force of that impact pushed my vehicle into a large box truck on the passenger's side.
