As vehicle entered intered intersection, front airbag imploded causing driver to lose control and hit a parked truck. Both vehicles were damaged and driver's insurancecompany paid the claim, charging the violation against the driver, and raising driver's rates exorbitantly for three years!! due to the force of the impact against the driver by the imploding airbag, the driver was very dazed when the police arrived and unable to adequately explain the cause of the accident.
