Narrative

We were traveling at approximately 45 miles per hour, slowed down around a bend in the road and hit an ice patch. The vehicle spun towards a truck stopped at a stop sign. We hit the driver's side of the truck with the driver's side of my vehicle. We continued to spin and hit the truck again with a side impact. and spun again after the second impact. The front airbags deployed but the over head side impact airbags did NOT deploy. My wife was driving and hit her head on the drivers side window resulting in a large contusion on her forehead. The only safety notice or recall information we had for this vehicle was concerning the electric start and ignition components with the batteries that left our vehicle stranded at one point, until we had that repaired. We never had any notice or alerts of any air bag deficiencies in the vehicle. The driver's side and driver's passenger side airbags should have deployed upon the impact. We had our two little girls 2yr and 9mo old, 12 yr old, myself, my wife and grandma in the vehicle. No one else was injured in the vehicle except my wife the driver, hitting her head on the side window.
