What Airbag Deployment Can Indicate After a Crash in San Bernardino
Airbags are designed to deploy during moderate to severe impacts. When they activate, it often means the vehicles experienced a strong force during the crash.
While airbags can reduce the risk of serious harm, their deployment may also signal significant vehicle damage. In many cases, a car with deployed airbags cannot be safely driven from the scene.
Intersection crashes in busy areas of San Bernardino can lead to lane blockages and delays. Even when traffic continues moving, partial closures may last until damaged vehicles are removed and debris is cleared from the roadway.
