I was in ana accident on Sept. 4, 2002. I could not stop in time for the wreck that happened 1/4 mile in front of us so I proceeded to slam into the rear-end of the truck in front of me. Although I was not injured the sherif said the air bag should have deployed but it did not! I could have been seriously injured and that could have saved my life but it did not work! thank you for caring enough for people and letting them fill this form out.
