Recently reported AIR BAGS problems on 2007 Kia Spectra

I had a 2007 kia spectra. my daughter was going to washington to help her husband fix up an apartment for them to move in. i suggested to my daughter that she could take my car since it was new and more reliable. i received a call about 12:30 am. she told me that someone stopped quickly in front of her and she veered to keep from hitting her. she said that when she did something happened with the car and she lost control. she ended getting hit from behind and pushed into another vehicle. sandwiching the car in the middle. i might would have thought that it was human error on her part. but, the air bags did not even deploy. this tells me that something was horribly wrong with my car and my daughter was blessed to have been able to walk away from the accident. my car was a total loss and the insurance adjuster told me there was nothing salvageable from this car. i told him that i felt that it was strange that both the front and back of the car was crushed and the air bags did not deploy. this tells me something was terribly wrong. can you look into this for me. thank you for your time and consideration. *jb
