Yesterday night i got into an accident with my 2000 toyota tacoma.... a man failed to yield at a stop sign and crossed the intersection where i was driving on and had the right away. i was going 45 at the time and when i saw him pull out i slammed my brakes and it was too late. i t boned him...my air bags did not deploy causing me to whip lash forward(yes, i was wearing a seat-belt). when i whip lashed forward my face hit the wheel and i bit into my own lip , my pinky finger also hit the wheel causing it to swell up. from what i was told by the police officer and insurance company was that my airbag should have deployed !! this car has never been in an accident so i don't understand why it never went off. *tr
