While driving 30 mph, the driver crashed into a wall and the air bags failed to deploy. The driver was fatally injured. A police report was filed. The vehicle was destroyed. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 120,000.
The engine compartment then burst into flames and destroyed the entire front of the van. I do not know what caused the fire, but I thought I should report the incident. I have sent the van to the junk yard. I have taken several pictures of the damage and would be glad to share them with you.
Upon impact, both front seat backs snapped and collapsed backwards, causing the driver to fall backwards;his foot slipping off the brake pedal. Vehicle careened across the street onto a field 150 foot away. Driver was not injured. However, the passenger was taken to the hospital for emergency treatment.
