I was crossing through an intersection turning left right after the light had turned green. Next thing I knew it I saw another car, it was a Camry, flying through the light right for me. It was raining here in Florida that day, and of course going to brake so abruptly I slid in addition to the speed and was not able to stop in time. I was T-boned at that intersection directly next to where the airbags would have been and they never deployed.I now suffer from 3 herniated discs on the spine pinching the nerves, and I definitely believe this airbag not going off is to blame.
