I was traveling approx. 50 mph and a woman pulled out in front of me and i (t boned ) her. my chest hit the steering wheel and then the air bag deployed immediately all functions stopped working.the car filled with white smoke from the air bag. my windows were up and i could not roll them down nor steer.i could not breath the car was rolling it stopped at approx. 50 ft.when i got out i was gasping i had a white substance all over me in my nose. i'm very concerned.
Involved in a very low impact accident, going approximately 8-10mph if that, vehicle pulled out in front of me, pressed brake, roads icy, and slid into vehicle which pulled out in front of me. impact caused airbag to come out and broke my hand/wrist/arm in 3 places. i sit far enough back on purpose, the air bag only stuck my arm. i don't think i was going fast enough for the airbag to deploy at all. i am permanently disfigured and have limited function of my dominant hand now.
