Wife had a collision w/nissen pickup, doing 40 mph, only the passenger side of the front end damage but the whole front end of the nissen pick destroyed. I'm attacking Ford for this. My brother-in-law cann't move his neck due to he hit the windsheild, his seat belt did not hold him and neither of the air bags deployed, this could have been worse.
