description: WAS STRUCK SIDE STRUCK BY A VEHICLE RUNNING A RED LIGHT. MY HEAD STRUCK THE DRIVERS SIDE WINDOW, TRANSPORTED BY FIRE & RESCUE TO LOCAL HOSPITAL. HOSPITAL DIAGNOSIS WAS A "CLOSED WOUND CONCUSSION". OTHER DRIVER WAS CHARGED ON MULTIPLE COUNTS. MECHANICS THAT REPAIRED MY TRUCK ESTIMATE THE VEHICLE THAT HIT ME WAS TRAVELLING 40-45MPH. MY AIRBAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. IMPACT AREA ON MY TRUCK WAS FRONT DRIVER SIDE QUARTER PANEL AND FRONT LEFT TIRE. HAVE VIEWED A SIDE IMPACT CRASH TEST FOR MY MAKE, MODEL AND YEAR. IN THAT TEST THE AIRBAGS DID DEPLOY AND THE DRIVER DUMMY HIT HEAD IN EXACT LOCATION AS I DID. I WOULD ASSUME THE CRASH TEST DUMMY WOULD NOT HAVE RECEIVED A CONCUSSION DUE TO THE PROTECTION FROM THE SIDE AIRBAG DEPLOYMENT. ONE OF THE REASONS FOR MY PURCHASE OF THIS VEHICLE WAS THE SAFETY ASPECT. THE MANUFACTURER MARKETED THE AIRBAG SYSTEM AS A KEY SELLING POINT. I DID HAVE MY SEAT BELT ON AT THE TIME OF THE CRASH. I CAN PROVIDE POLICE ACCIDENT REPORT, PHOTOS OF BOTH VEHICLES, REPAIR DETAIL FOR MY TRUCK AND PERSONAL DAMAGE. *TR
