On 11/24 I was involved in an accident. I hit someone who lost control of their vehicle and pulled out in front of my car suddenly and without giving me much response time before I hit her car. My isuzu rodeo had extensive engine and body damage and my concern is that the air bags never deployed. I was going at a high rate of speed, being that I was on the highway traveling on the hov lane. Thankfully the injuries have only been soreness and nothing too serious since we were wearing our seatbelts.
