| Air Bag problems |
I was driving through a green light through an intersection and a car on the opposite side of me had a yield green which they were suppose to wait for me to go and then continue with their left turn, but instead the driver decide to just go and our vehicles collided. The other car, which was a Toyota corolla, had damage to their passenger side in which the front bumper looks like it got detached but the airbags were deployed. On my BMW, my entire grill, structural bumper beam, front crumple zone, radiator, driver side beam and bumper were all pretty much destroyed. My hood is dented inward and the insurance company has filed it a total loss. However, due to the extensive damage on my front, it is questionable on why my airbags didn't pop out, at least even on my driver side. I had my seatbelt on at impact but the breaks were slammed when I saw that the other driver had just continued driving. Therefore, at the point of collision, we're not sure if this was a manufacturing problem with BMW with this car. It heavily comprises the safety and integrity of the car, since if it was a even more serious accident and the airbags remained to not pop out, fatalities could've been involved. I did have to go to urgent care and then the hospital the next day because I got pretty bad whiplash.
