This evening, I had a collision with a car that was attempting to cross the highway, but pulled out directly in front of me. I slammed on my brakes, but T-boned the other vehicle. I was traveling at approximately 55 mph. Her vehicle sustained most of the damage, and I was actually very impressed that my Liberty did not sustain as much damage as I had expected. I was wearing my seatbelt, but to my surprise, my airbag did not deploy. My chest hit the steering wheel. I am very concerned that the airbag did not deploy despite hitting a vehicle that was essentially not even moving. I love my Jeep, but how do I know that my air bag even works? luckily I made it through this accident without severe injuries, but may not be so lucky next time.
My daughter had an accident while driving to school this morning and although she hit head on and the hood buckled her airbags did not deploy nor did her seat belt restrain her. She did not have any severe injury, didn't hit the stirring wheel or her head but she has minor neck pain at the moment and I am taking her to the hospital as a precaution.
