While stopped at a red light I had a rear end collision by a ford f250 into my scion xd then knocking me into a toyota van in front of me. Drivers air bag deployed. When the car came to a stop I went to lay back in my seat and my head fell back, that is when I noticed the head rest was missing. When I looked for it was sitting on my dash. Head rest was in lowest setting before the accident.
