Airbag Saves Man, Then Slowly Kills Him

A driver from Scotland became involved in a six car pileup. The airbag deployed, the man escaped uninjured. Then, the airbag slowly killed him. The airbag broke a window and got cut. Chemicals from the ruptured airbag of Ronald Smith's Vauxhall Insignia's airbag triggered chest and breathing problems, the Daily Record says. Two months after the crash, the driver was taken to a hospital with an infected lung. After 21 days on a respirator, Smith died. Coroner Carney said: "I accept the death was attributed to bronchial pneumonia and pulmonary fibrosis and that it was developed after this incident in November, and the deceased's exposure to noxious substances. This man died as a result of this incident and more pointedly because of the explosion of his airbag." Vauxhall did not want to comment. from The Truth About Cars http://www.thetruthaboutcars.com
