THE CAR WAS STRUCK ON THE DRIVERS SIDE. THE CAR IS EQUIPPED WITH SIDE CURTAIN AIR BAGS, IN ADDITION TO THE STEERING AND PASSENGER DASH. THE IMPACT COVERED FROM THE DRIVERS DOOR AND THE ENTIRE FRONT FENDER. THE ONLY AIR BAGS THAT DEPLOYED WERE THE STEERING AND DASH. THE SIDE CURTAINS DID NOT, RESULTING IN HEAD INJURY TO A 16 YEAR OLD THAT WAS THE DRIVER. THIS CAR WAS PURCHASED WITH THESE SAFETY FEATURES EXPECTING IT TO WORK AS INTENDED.
