“I and four children between the ages of 2 and 9 were driving a 2011 Audi Q7 on a right lane of a street. We had a green light and another driver in a honda minivan from the opposite side of the street made a left turn in front of us without yielding and though I hit the brake immediately, I was not able to avoid crashing head on into the other car on the passenger side of the van. I am told that my Audi is probably totaled but we are waiting to hear the official results. We were all wearing seatbelts but the airbags on my Audi never deployed. We all hit our head backwards. …”
