Driving on high way 20 in Cherokee county ga a car ran a red light hitting me head on going approximately 30 mph myself going 45-50 mph luckily I did not suffer major bodily injury (whiplash and lots of bruises). My question is should airbags have deployed? and seat belt did not lock causing me to make contact with the dash and steering wheel. I was driving a 2002 Ford Taurus ls.
