Yesterday night I got into an accident with my 2000 toyota tacoma.... A man failed to yield at a stop sign and crossed the intersection where I was driving on and had the right away. I was going 45 at the time and when I saw him pull out I slammed my brakes and it was too late. I t boned him...my air bags did not deploy causing me to whip lash forward(yes, I was wearing a seat-belt). When I whip lashed forward my face hit the wheel and I bit into my own lip , my pinky finger also hit the wheel causing it to swell up. From what I was told by the police officer and insurance company was that my airbag should have deployed !! This car has never been in an accident so I don't understand why it never went off.
