Lost control of car on minor ice patch on the interstate. When it finally caught traction, it was slung into the side of a semi truck traveling at 75 MPH, but the air bags failed to deploy. The driver was injured, the front end was destroyed, and the car was totaled. Can obtain crash report and better photos if needed, just don't have them on me at the moment.
