## Narrative
On April 21, 2025, at approximately 6:30 a.m., I was operating my vehicle on a public roadway near the intersection of 98th Street and Indiana Avenue in Lubbock, Texas.  While I was traveling at approximately 45 miles per hour, another driver operating a pickup truck pulled out of a grocery store parking lot directly into my path of travel.  The truck entered the roadway in front of my vehicle, leaving me unable to avoid a collision. The front of my vehicle struck the side of the pickup truck, resulting in a significant T-bone collision.  Following the accident, the driver of the pickup truck admitted that he had been eating a breakfast burrito and had looked to his right but failed to look to his left before pulling into the roadway.  VEHICLE DAMAGE AND AIRBAG FAILURE  The collision resulted in approximately $20,000 in damage to my vehicle.  Despite the substantial front-end impact and the approximate speed at which I was traveling before the collision, the airbags in my vehicle did not deploy.  The failure of the airbags to deploy during this collision raises serious concerns regarding the proper operation of the vehicle’s supplemental restraint system and whether the airbags functioned as designed.  I am requesting that the circumstances of this accident be reviewed to determine whether the failure of the airbags to deploy was the result of a defect, malfunction, or other failure of the vehicle’s safety systems.
