Shanghai, May 10 (Gasgoo.com) A Toyota Highlander had a road accident in Beijing on Saturday, which led to a collapse of 30 metres of the guardrail and serious damage of the car. The vehicle's airbag didn't pop out, but fortunately, the driver and one passenger didn't get hurt, and both crept out of the damaged car window, local media reported .
At about four pm., 8th May on a Beijing suburban highway, a Toyota Highlander turned on its side when it was trying to make room for another car, which accelerated to overtake Highlander on the next lane. Highlander's driver instinctively took the brake to the left but unexpectedly, the car crashed into the guardrail. The driver felt that the car was tilted heavily to the right side and then overturned.
The crashed Toyota Highlander was distorted beyond recognition, the front bumper was off, the left and right front wheels were burst and the front door on the right side was knocked a big hole.
Despite this, what surprised the driver and the on-site spectators was that no air bag did not deploy in such a serious accident. People all think this is abnormal and doubt whether this has something to do with Toyota's car quality and whether it is a technological problem.
The driver has already made a statement that he has saved some relevant evidence and there is a possiblity that he may discuss the issue with Toyota Motor's China company.
