While stopped in traffic i was hit from behind by a car at minimum going 40mph while propelled my car into the vehicle in front of me. the entire front and back ends of my car are smashed in/hanging on and my air bags did not deploy. autobody shop indicated the air bags should have gone off with that much damage. *tr
