I was involved in an accident on May 4, 2014. I hit another vehicle from the rear. There was extensive damage to my vehicle yet my air bag did not deploy. Also my seat belt failed to lock. As a result I hit the steering wheel with my mouth. I also hit the windshield with the top of my head. My teeth cut into my bottom lip and I had to go to the er later that night because of the pain. I feel that had the airbag deployed I wouldn't have sustained the injury that I did.
The contact owns a 2003 Chevrolet Impala. The contact stated that while driving 5 mph, another vehicle crashed into the vehicle. The rear driver's side belt became completely fractured.
