My daughter was in a rollover accident on 09 -06 -2016 in a 2002 Ford Thunderbird convertible. The air bag did not sufficiently deploy & she was severely injured as a result. She was on interstate 95n near manning, SC when a semi truck did not see her & came into her lane grazing the car. She had to go off the road or the truck would have crushed her. The Thunderbird rolled over & she was severely injured.
