Narrative

I was entering an intersection on a green light when a car from the cross street entered from the right running a red light. I hit them at approximately 35-40 mph in the driver side doors. My airbags failed to deploy. The cab on my truck was shifted more than 2 inches off the frame and was a total loss since the original repair estimate was more than $43,000. The reporting firemen and paramedics and the repair shop all could not believe that the air bags did not deploy. My passenger and I are still suffering from injuries sustained in the accident, which are likely much worse because of the failure of the airbags to deploy.
