Other vehicle crossed over yellow line and hit our car from the middle of the vehicle on drivers side all the way to back and knocked off the back drivers wheel and sent us spinning around into and wrapped around telephone pole. My legs were pinned under dash and couldn't move, passenger door had been badly damaged and pushed in about one foot. Had to be cut out of the car to get me out, taken to er. My complaint is that none of the air bags deployed which I find quite odd. Would like to know where and who to contact to find out why air bag didn't deploy. We do have lots of pictures to back up our claim.
