  • 45 miles
On 01/03/2012 I was involved in a frontal drivers side collision, which involved my SUV and another car traveling around 45-50 mph. The impact smashed in the driver door and hood along with other damages. Neither front air bags delayed which resulted in me hitting my face on the steering wheel and having extensive dental damage. I am not sure what contributions are needed to deploy airbags but I do believe mine should have deployed.
