We were hit head on by a large pickup truck. We sustained a lot of damage from this head-on collision. We were traveling around 10 miles an hour but the other car was going at least 20 miles an hour. The airbags never deployed despite being hit head on and suffering a lot of damage upon impact. We were slowing down for a stop sign. The other car turned into our lane and was accelerating towards us.
