I was in a front impact accident going approximately 15-30 mph. The person I rear ended was stationary and his air bag deployed. My airbag did not deploy. The damage to my car was extensive causing the hood to fold into an inverted "V" smashing in the radiator etc. I was very concerned that my airbag did not deploy. I was not injured in the accident.
