    I hit a deer between 55 and 65mph. I struck the animal with the left front, in the headlight area. I want to know why the airbags didn't go off. The car was a 2004 camry. I am thankful the air bags didn't go off, but wondering -why not. Over $3600 in damages. Thank you for any info you can give me. *tr

We both suffered injuries, that we are still being treated for. *jb
