Mva, my mother was involved in an accident. According to the accident report, she was turning left and the other car was only going 25 miles/hour. My mother received injuries that caused her death a week later. In inspecting the Neon, 2001 it appeared that the seat belts did not lock out. She went forward into the airbag. She had a fractured sternum and 4 fractured rib's, and multiple bruises ( so many she had to have a transfusion. How can this be! she was hardly moving and the other vehicle was only going 25 miles/hour?
