MY 21 YR.OLD SON WAS DRIVING HOME AT APROX 2:53A.M. LOST CONTROL OF HIS 2006 HYUNDI BRIO AND CRASHES THE FRONT LEFT SIDE AND LATER FOLLOWED THOUGH TO ANOTHER WALL IMPACTING IT SIDEWAYS . THE FONTAL AIRBAGS DID NOT DEPLOY AND HE LATER DIED AT HOSPITAL OF SEVERE ABDOMIAL TRAUMA , RIBS PUNCTURIG BOTH LUNGS. AS A FATHER HOW CAN I KNOW IF THE FIRST IMPACT WAS STRONG ENOUGH TO MAKE THE AIRBAGS DEPLOY AND IF THERE HAVE BEEN RECALLS FOR PROBLEMS CONCERNING AIRBAG DEPLOYMENT FAILURE. THE MODEL OF THE CAR WAS HYUNDAI BRIO.
