On January 17th my daughter was involved in an accident on interstate 5. She was driving her 2005 Hyundai 4 door Accent in the rain when a Ford explorer merging onto the highway spun out in circles colliding first with another car then hit the Accent approximately over the front lft. Headlight. The top of left front wheel was pushed inward, the grill and hood were pushed into windshield, windshield broken, front left roof support, center dash pushed in and parts of dash broken in glove box area,rear seats squished together in the shape of a "w". Question is why. . . . . Didn't either airbag deploy??????? have other cases been reported with Hyundais? insurance investigator said they could not determine the cause of failure because the cars electrical system was knocked out completely? have photos if required.
