The airbags never deployed. I sustained a brain injury in the accident along with whiplash. I told the deputy on scene, that they did not deploy. My insurance looked at it. They totaled the car out. It is now sitting in a junk yard somewhere.
For no apparent reason my air bag sensor light comes on intermittently while driving.
Oct 9th - I was coming home from work on October 9th after working a 12-hour shift. It was dark. I was going south on happy valley. I pulled up to a four-way stop on happy valley and victory road. I started to pull into the intersection. A girl traveling east to west didn't stop at her stop sign. When I got in the middle of the intersection, she hit me. The speed limit was 45 mph coming from her direction, but I do not know how fast she was traveling. She hit my car and it spun my car. I remember hitting my head 2 times on the side window and my body twice against the door. My airbags didn't deploy. My car faced the airport when it came to a stop and was facing west.
Pulling into a parking spot and the car took over and was speeding and hit the concrete pole,air bags went off the car was totaled.
