Narrative

My car slid off of the road during a blizzard and hit a tree head on. My front end had smashed in and the car was totaled. The airbags did not deploy and the police who arrived on the scene believed that they should have. I brought my car to a body shop to assess the damages as well as look into the issue of the airbags. He told me that all of the crash sensors had gone off and my seat belt had locked up which led him to believe that my airbags should have definitely deployed. The car had no warning lamps on prior to the accident. I often travel on the interstate and had this crash happened at greater speeds I most likely would have not survived. The vehicle is in transit to a salvage yard but is available for inspection.
