AIR BAGS
MY 2000 LINCOLN LS WAS STRUCK BROADSIDE BY A 1997 MAZDA PROTEGE. THE COLLISION RESULTED IN BOTH THE DRIVER AND PASSENGER DOOR, AS WELL AS THE CENTER PILLAR, BEING CAVED IN BY THE OTHER VEHICLE. HOWEVER, DESPITE A COLLISION THAT RESULTED IN OVER $4,200 WORTH OF DAMAGE TO THIS VEHICLE, THE DRIVER SIDE AIR BAG DID NOT DEPLOY.
