Vehicle was stopped in left turn lane when impacted head on by smaller car oncoming traffic. Vehicle was knocked back approximately 40 feet and 16 feet side ways. Neither airbag deployed or seat belt locked to prevent driver from impacting steering wheel and dash board, resulting in face, chest, arm, and leg injuries.
