“I was involved in a collision & was hit hard front passenger & side passenger. Was t boned at busy intersection. I was driving down a busy city street. My upper body/sternum/upper abdomen hit the steering wheel full force, my airbag did not deploy & seatbelt did not lock down in place immediately like it should have. Went by ambulance to hospital with sternal, ribs, & spinal injuries. I want to know why airbag did not deploy to protect me & why seatbelt did not lock down quickly enough so I would not hit steering wheel.”
