My 05 hyundai elantra was involved in a hit and run on the freeway spinning me out of control. I totaled the car and my airbag did not deploy. The person who cause the accident fled the scene. I hit another vehicle and caused front end damage to hers before slamming in the rail. Neither of us broke any bones. As hard as i hit and from all around the car at some point my airbag should have gone off. *tr
