My wife was driving our 1998 Cadillac Catera when another car ran a stop sign forcing my wife's car into a collision T-boning the other car. The approximate speed of our car during the impact was at least thirty miles per hour. Our Cadillac was written off in the accident however even though this was a hard front end collision there was no airbag deployment in our car. My wife sustained some injuries however because she was wearing her seat belt she was released from the hospital 4 days later!
