I was heading south on a 4 lane hwy near a mall @about 48ish as I approaced the light that was green I saw an Ford Explore (SP) in the intersection making a left, the light had turned red for her but for reasons I had yet to discover she stopped in the intersection then started to move I assumed she would continue with her turn didnt happen she stopped again I had slowed down to around 40 not sure what she was doing I looked to my left and there was a car in that lane looked to my right same thing a car I later found out she was fighting with the little boys trying to keep them from jumping an the seats Fricken dipchit lady could have gotten them killed Thank God they are okay,I dont think I could handle killing 2 little boys my fault or not! I pushed on the breaks so hard I fractured my right ankle during impact, I watched my pride and joy crumble before my eyes as I t boned the ford, I realized that the potential of the air bags going of and closed my eyes thinking this is going to hurt, I have been told air bag deployment can be painfull, anyway nothing happened! they did not go off and I bashed my head against the steering wheel leaving a nasty wound. I got out of my severly injured Titan and went to check on the ford **** there where 2 little kids in the ford and no child seats, they were a litle dazzed as we all were, I am an emt so I did a quick assesment on both the boys they seemed fine, I asked the lady if I could examine her as she was already out of the explorer looking at her damage, then she told the 2 little boys in spanish to start crying rolling around and acting like they were really hurt bad when they heard the sirens, I dont think she understood I could speak spanish, so I heard the sirens and began to check my truck out( BTW disconnect your battery if you can God forbid that any of you get in an accident, but disconnect the battery if there is no fluid ie gas leak etc the FD cuts themharness and all) man what a sad site the front end was destroyed my billet grill was in litttle pieces the headlights hanginging the doors were jammed up pretty bad crumbled hood,glass everwhere I am sure you guys have seen stuff like that anyway eveyone turned out to be fine, of course the 3 in the explorer took an ambulance to the hospital the lady was complaining about every part of her body hurting and said she could not move or walk, but she had the energy to walk around her vehicle it must have been the sirens that really hurt her.I refused treatment bad ankle and a bump on the head and the hospital cant fix a broken heart (metaphor) but I felt like I was hit by a train the next morning damn! so anyway she got some BIG azz TICKETS no proof of ins no child seats $950.00 per child+ child endagerment and so on, I was cited for running a red light how and why I dont know I will find out in court when I fight it, question #2. why didnt my air bags deploy and it seems the seat belt failed because I bashed my head against the steering wheel, is that normal occurance at 40ish. BTW total damage to my baby $7500.00 Thank God for insurance but I dont think they are going to renew me at the same rate. sorry for the long post I was venting and did have those questions about the air bags and safety belt. Thanks for reading my book.
Peace,

That pisses me off that even in emergencies people are still looking for self gain. It's sad that some people have degenerated in to pulling some crap like that.
Sorry to hear about your titan, and hope you have a speedy recovery.
