My husband was driving our van, and he got into a fender bender and was only going 4 to 5 MPH, and he lightly hit a pole due to sun glare, and it did not make a impact at all , and both air bags popped out, and I was injury badly. The dashboard that was covering the airbag flew off, and cut my head open, and the bag fractured my nose, and my whole top part of my body is sore and bruised. The air bags went off 30 seconds after the accident, and was very late. I could have been killed. My husband is bruised and very sore from the bag hitting him on the chest.
