“I was driving my 2004 Volvo C70 when I drifted off into a high curb. This caused my passenger airbag to deploy.the loud and disrupting noise then caused me to loose all control of the car. As I then ran through a fence and trees before I came to a stop. I was the only one in the car. So why did the empty passenger seat bag deploy. And why did the drivers airbag not deploy.”
