Some selective editing:-

A girl was left blind after an airbag inflated and hit her in the face during a horrific car crash.

.....when it hit a pothole, collided with the central reservation and flipped on to its roof.

Both the driver and passenger airbags inflated on impact, but while her father Geoff walked away from the crash with just cuts and bruises, Kelly was left with devastating injuries to her face.

'You just don't think an airbag could cause as much damage as this'

The family from Eckington, near Sheffield, have contacted solicitors.

It would seem that the airbags saved lives in this crash but I wonder why the difference in injuries between driver and passenger.
I am not surprised at solicitors being involved .
