Driver of another vehicle was traveling down a major highway on the wrong side of the hwy, when the car in front of me swerved and I was hit head on in my 1999 Chrysler Lhs concord by the oncoming vehicle, where I tried to swerve over but was too late my Chrysler went air born, flipped and rolled, out of the impact my air bag didn't deploy and I was thrown from the front to the rear, back to the front of the vehicle. I have read several complaints as mine regarding the Chrysler air bags not deploying, and on a head on collision, they are automatically suppose to deploy. I'm now in and out of therapy and without a vehicle. But thankful to still be alive.
