My husband and I crashed frontend first into a tree at approximately 60mph. The passenger airbag light indicated the airbag was on. Neither airbag deployed. The motor of the car is partially in the floorboard of the car. I sustained life-threatening injuries and was hospitalized for almost 5 weeks. I had to endure 8 weeks of out-patient physical therapy and still have followup visits with several doctors including neuropsychology, plastic surgeon and ent / head and neck surgery.
