My daughter was in an accident with her Focus on Tuesday. A 90 year old
woman turned in front of her and my daughter didn't even have enough time to
hit the brakes. The Focus is totaled, but something my daughter said about
the airbags is bothering me. She said that when the airbags went off, both
the drivers and passengers side airbags deployed, but while the passenger
side airbad deflated the drivers side then "exploded". I haven't had a
chance to really inspect the car carefully enough to really determine what
happened, my question is does this sound normal? I realize that it would be
easy enough for someone to think that the bag "exploded" when it deployed,
but she definately said that the "explosion" came after the initial
deployment. When I do get a chance tomorrow to inspect the car, what
should I expect to see with the bags? Should there be any opening in the
bags or should they remain intact? Thanks for any help.......
