I'm filing this for my dad. He wouldn't know how to use a computer. A man stole a vehicle and was being chased by police in Kansas City when my dad was in the intersection at the wrong time and was hit square on the driver's side of his Chevy Cavalier. I'm not sure of the year, but it's less than 3 years old. He had his seat belt on, but the air bag never deployed. The crash was severe enough that he has 7 fractured ribs, left pelvic fracture, left acetabular fracture, left tibia/fibular fractures and 2 fractures in the ankle of his left foot. He's still in rehab. I'm not sure the deployment of the airbag would have made a huge difference, but wanted to make sure this was not a consistent problem. I just clicked no on the previous page about release of my dad's information since you'd have to ask him that question. Thanks for looking into this. My number in san antonio is 210-492-7653 (barbara roach).
