There was a car accident on patch barracks in stuttgart germany involving my Honda Civic ex 2003. This accident took place at night. The ponds security guards lifted the steel barrier as I was coming across it. At impact the passenger air bag deployed, however the driver's side did not. I ended up hitting the steering wheel and possibly the dash board, breaking my nose. The car's undercarriage was destroyed. The car was found to be totaled. I still am concerned that the air bag for the passenger side did not come out at all.
