Head-on collision at 50 mph and airbags did not inflate.
The vehicle was involved in a frontal collision, and none of the air bags deployed.
It had been raining slightly and as I attempted to use an exit ramp from the highway my antilock brakes failed I skidded and spun and ended up hitting the concrete barrier which did not make my airbags deploy even though the car hit hard enough to bend the frame of the front end by an inch and a half.
Hit by a red light runner (45/50mph) on driver's side, hit a second car, then a concrete post head on. Not one of the four air bags engaged at anytime. The car was totaled. I have documentation, pictures, police report, and have contacted chevy, they have no clear response on why? if you would like more detail on injures or have any question please fill free to contact me. Thank you for your time, danielle hurst-stone.
