: the contact stated while driving at night the vehicle struck a deer at 60 mph and the airbags did not deploy. Although the contact and passenger were wearing T seat belts, the contact's husband sustained minor injuries from the seat belt straps. There was no pre braking involved. There were no previous problems with the airbags. Due to the extensive damage the vehicle was totaled by the insurance adjustor. Since the crash involved a deer no police report was taken.
