In owners' own words
My daughter was involved in a one vehicle collision. The vehicle left the roadway and struck a culvert head on. The vehicle sustained significant front end damage, but neither the driver or the passenger side airbags deployed. There was also some damage to the side of the vehicle and the side air bags did not deploy. The vehicle's actual speed is unknown to this writer, an estimate has been provided above.
