“OUR VEHICLE WAS STRUCK FROM THE DRIVERS SIDE - REAR AT AN ESTIMATED 60MPH SPEED DIFFERENCE. (IT IS THOUGHT WE WERE SLOWED TO APPROX 25MPH, OTHER CAR WAS PROBABLY 80MPH OR MORE). THIS HAPPENED ON I95 IN LUMBERTON NC. THE OTHER VEHICLE WAS IN LEFT LANE, WE WERE IN RIGHT LANE. THE OTHER VEHICLE SWERVED INTO OUR LANE HITTING US "QUARTERING" FROM LEFT REAR. FORCE WAS HARD ENOUGH TO DEFORM RIGHT SIDE OF CAR WHICH CAME IN CONTACT WITH NOTHING. AS THE DRIVER, I STRUCK THE INTERIOR WITH ENOUGH FORCE TO CAUSE A "SEVERE" CONCUSSION. NO SIDE CURTAINS DEPLOYED, AND I DO NOT BELIEVE THE SEAT BELTS TENSIONED TO RESTRAIN ME IN THE SEAT. MY LEFT SHOULDER, ARM, AND ELBOW WERE ALSO INJURED IN THE ACCIDENT. THE FRONT SEAT PASSENGER SUFFERED INJURIES TO HER LEFT ARM, AND RECOILED STRIKING THE INSIDE OF THE RIGHT INTERIOR. THIS CAUSED HEAD TRAUMA AS WELL. WE DON'T BELIEVE THE SEAT BELT TENSIONED. PASSENGER IN THE BACK SEAT, RIGHT SIDE ALSO SUFFERED INJURY. NOT AS SEVERE AS FRONT SEAT OCCUPANTS. HE WAS THROW AROUND IN THE VEHICLE, IT IS UNKNOWN IF HIS BELTS TENSIONED. ALL 3 HAD TO BE TRANSPORTED BY AMBULANCE FOR INJURIES SUFFERED. THERE IS A WARNING DISPLAYED IN THE DASH STATING, "SRS AIRBAG SYSTEM MALFUNTION VISIT YOUR DEALER" I BELIEVE HAD SEATBELTS TENSIONED, SIDE CURTAINS DEPLOYED, MY INJURIES WOULD BE MUCH LESS. THIS ACCIDENT OCCURRED 10/11/2020, WEATHER WAS OVERCAST BUT DRY. CRASH FORCE WAS SUFFICIENT TO CAUSE BODY WORK DEFORMATION ON RIGHT SIDE OF VEHICLE, WHICH CAME IN CONTACT WITH NO OBJECTS.”

“I was in an accident, going about 40mph (about 30mph at time of impact), and no airbags were deployed. Police officer reported that he also did not see that the tension of the seat belt remained tense after the crash. Seems that there was a problem with both systems. The other vehicle had all their airbags deploy.”

“A car turned in front of my daughter and her boyfriend. They were going 40 MPH and there is severe damage to the front of the vehicle. The car will be totaled. Not one air bag deployed. All first responders were very surprised and cautious that even them exiting the damaged vehicle could set them off. They were told "not to move" until they could investigate a safe way for them to leave the car.”
