At a recent multi-vehicle MVA, a late model Toyota Tercel impacted the rear of a late model Blazer and sustained moderate to severe front end damage - mostly to the hood area. Speed involved was approx 40-55 mph at time of impact. The airbag of the Tercel did not deploy. The hood of the Tercel was crumpled and folded to the windsheild. Yet but because of the nose-dive type impact little damage to the front bumper or front crumple zones occured. Is this why the non-deployment of air bag, or is there something else I should be looking for? And is there still danger of deployment even though the sensors were not damaged?
