My car was t-bone hit from the passenger side while I was driving at 25 MPH on a side road with no passengers (thank god). The party at fault broke a stop sign and resulted in total loss of my car. Only the passenger side air bag deployed and protected no one. Strangely, the driver side air bag did not deploy. As a result I hit the passenger window glass with the side of my head and got a concussion.
