I was in a car accident when I tried to avoid another car that slid into my lane. The back part of the jeep hit a telephone pole and then I slid in the ice and hit a tree head on. Police estimated the speed I hit at was 30 MPH. None of the airbags deployed and my seat belt didn't lock up when the brake was on so I hit the windshield and steering wheel.
Vehicle was involved in a frontal collision. Upon impact, airbags did not deploy, resulting in minor injuries. Manufacturer will be notified.
While driving approx. 40 MPH, the driver swerved to avoid hitting a deer and the vehicle overturned, rolling twice. The airbags did not deploy, I assume because we weren't struck from the front, and my seatbelt didn,t secure, I also assume for the same reason. I was the passenger and was caught hanging half out the passenger window and the vehicle rolled over me breaking both hips and my pelvis. This happened on july 30, 2000 in shelby county, texas. Due to some other reports I have heard I have learned that jeep cherokees have a history of overturning easier than another style of vehicle perhaps.
