My friend and I were traveling on the I-40e in new mexico. He was driving my truck and feel asleep at the wheel. He woke up and oversteered and caused us to crash my truck into the right side highway ditch at about 70 miles per hour. We hit first with the front right of my truck and then tumbled 3 times smashing all sides of the truck especially the front. We had our seat belts on so we weren't ejected, but air bags never deployed. My dog was in the backseat of the 4 door truck and was ejected and died shortly after.

My husband was driving his 2006 Nissan Frontier and was about to merge onto the highway when the car in front of him threw on his brakes. He was only driving at less than 10 mph and tapped the car in front of him. The driver's front airbag deployed smacking him in the face. No one could ever explain why it would deploy with such a light impact. Fyi passenger side front air bag did not deploy!.
