Friend got T-Boned today
A girl ran a red light today and Tboned my friend's 01 CLS. What I don't understand is why the side airbags did not deploy. It was hit pretty hard and basically destroyed the passenger door. Also, the wheels are pointing in different directions, which seems to me that the tie rods or rack & pinion is screwed up. They had to use the jaws of life to get his wife out of the car...she is fine...a little sore, but fine.

Your have a point. The actual door doesn't seem to be pushed into the car enough to trigger the side air bags.

The other car was going about 30-35 mph, but was a pretty small car. He just got the estimate back today, $12,000 damage...it's totaled. I think he's going to get a new RL.
