I was driving straight on route 93 South in Massachusetts behind a sedan. There driving conditions were not good; it was raining heavily. There was a truck in front of the sedan and it had just passed its exit. The truck then went in reverse to go back to the exit. The sedan was unable to stop in time and rear ended the truck. By the time I had realized what was happening it was impossible for me to stop. I slid on the wet road straight into the back of the sedan. I would assume that because I crashed into a car going over 40 mph, straight on, that my airbags would deploy but they did not. Since my airbags did not deploy, my neck was thrown forward and although it did not break it has caused severe discomfort. Everyone who saw my car after the incident were amazed that the airbags did not deploy.
Consumer states was hit from the rear by another vehicle traveling approx 25-30mph and in turn collided with a vehicle in front. Both driver and passenger air bags did not deploy.
