Consumer Description

I WAS DRIVING A KIA SPECTRA THAT WAS RENTED FROM ENTERPRISE RENTAL CAR. A CAR RAN A STOP SIGN IN THE RAIN AND I HIT THE CAR. THE CARS COLLIDED AT A 90 DEGREE ANGLE, WITH THE FRONT BUMPER OF THE KIA HITTING THE RIGHT FRONT WHEEL OF THE SUBARU OUTBACK. I WAS GOING ABOUT 25 MILES PER HOUR. THE ACCIDENT CAUSED THE BUMPER OF THE KIA TO BE BROKEN AND PUSHED IN ALL ALONG THE FRONT OF THE CAR AND IT BUCKLED THE HOOD OF THE CAR. THE RIGHT FRONT WHEEL OF THE SUBARU COLLAPSED INWARD TOWARDS THE CAR AND THE CAR SPUN ABOUT 90 DEGREES ON IMPACT. MY MAIN CONCERN IS THAT THE AIRBAG IN THE KIA DID NOT GO OFF, AND IT SEEMS THAT AT 25 MPH A DIRECT HIT ON THE BUMPER SHOULD MAKE IT. I AM TURNING THE CAR BACK INTO ENTERPRISE, AND THEY CAN LOOK INTO THE AIRBAG REPAIR. *TR
