I was involved in a collision on 3/11 where a woman cut me off by making a left hand turn as she was headed toward me. The front passenger side of my car stuck the side of her car. The front right side of my car was smashed in but no airbag on the passenger side deployed. I was traveling about 30 mph and have not idea how fast the other driver was going. My car has been declared totaled. My passenger sufferd a bruised chest from her seat belt. Should either of the airbags in my car have deployed? thanks for your help.

Side driver's airbag inflated without collision. Because of debris lodged under the front carriage from something I may have run over, VW repair technicians suggest this may have been enough to trigger the airbag mechanism. This seems extremely unlikely and I am concerned that there was a malfunction of the airbag and would like this investigated. My insurance company has been contacted and will look at the car soon.
