I WAS INVOLVED IN AN ACCIDENT DRIVING MY 04 FORD F250 DIESEL PULLING A 25 FT FIFTH WHEEL. A CAR PULLED OUT IN FRONT OF ME ON THE HIGHWAY. I SWERVED TO TRY TO MISS, BUT HIT THE CARS LEFT FRONT END. WE WENT OFF THE ROAD, DOWN THE DITCH, UP THE DITCH AND INTO A GROVE OF TREES. HIT A TREE RIGHT IN THE MIDDLE OF THE BUMPER. BOTH MY WIFE'S AND MY EYEGLASSES FLEW OFF. MY WIFE SUFFERED A SEVERE CHEST BRUISE FROM THE SEAT BELT. MY CONCERN AND QUESTION IS: WHY DIDN'T THE AIR BAGS DEPLOY? I WAS TRAVELING ABOUT 55MPH AND WOULD GUESS ABOUT 40MPH WHEN WE HIT THE DITCH.
