I was traveling in heavy stop and go traffic traveling at about 40mph when the vehicle in front of me stopped, I applied the brakes hard but the vehicle did not stop and I tried to sway into the shoulder but hit the vehicle in front of me. There was plenty of space to stop but the brakes failed to stop the vehicle. Note: the air bags did not deploy.

While traveling approximately 55 to 60 mph his vehicle struck two cattles crossing the road. Both frontal air bags failed to deploy during this incident.
