Airbags did not deploy in head on front collision

- Grand Blanc, MI, USA

I was driving and was stopped at a stop light. When the light turned green I proceeded to excel forward. The car was only going between 10-15 miles per hour when without hitting or curbing anything my tire blew. Right after the tire blew all (6) six of my airbags deployed. When the airbags deployed the car quickly filled with smoke like air. The airbags caused me to not be able to see and I steered the car off the side of the road. At such time, onstar came across the speakers and asked if we were in an accident and if we needed the police &/or an ambulance. We yelled to the onstar person that we thought the car was on fire because of the smoke like substance and that we needed the police that we were on only vehicle that had been in an accident. I still have no clue what transpired in the event of the tire blowing especially since I didn't hit anything or curb anything. And I still don't know why the airbags deployed when they shouldn't have. I am educated on the requirements of deployed airbags and never at such time did I ever meet these requirements especially for all (6) six of the airbags to deploy. I never hit anything at a speed of 14 mph, nor was I tee boned from both sides, nor did our car role over. Which is the main reasons for all (6) six of the airbags to deploy. On another note the airbags on the drivers side, my side, deployed with such force that the airbags broke my glasses, my cell phone screen, and broke the ignition key off in the ignition. The airbag that protects the drivers knees left a bruise the size of a grapefruit on my leg. I never seemed medical attention. As for the passenger side airbags, they didn't have any force behind them. The airbags never even touched my wife at all and she didn't have any injuries at all. The tire in which we are discussing is the front passenger tire.

Major front and side impact--no airbag deployment. Entered intersection properly and another driver ran through red light and hit the car in right front, cracking the windshield, and spinning the car around and hitting the right rear side, breaking the right rear wheel off and resting on it sideways. Right front passenger received mild concussion from hitting head on right door glass. Driver and passenger have bruises. Both had seat and shoulder belts on.
