2013 Prius v had a collision with a mustang converible. Both vehicles are totaled. The mustang's airbags deployed. The Prius's airbags did not deploy and the driver has a severe concussion. Ems apparently told the hospital this was the sending one they had seen where airbags didn't deploy. The hospital told me I needed to look into airbags (3xs) based on what ems said. When I went to Toyota they asked if I was the one that had called a couple of days prior due to airbags failing. (no I had not called. ) so, was ems referring to a second Toyota where airbags had not deployed in 2 days? please look at pictures. This was a serious accident. Police report states both vehicles doing 35mph. Again, Prius airbags didn't deploy.
