Bummer man! I've always thought this to be a poor dash design. The windshield is toast if the pass. bag deploys, never mind that a lot of the accidents wouldn't have broken the windshield if not for the 'bag.
Glad you're mom is OK!
Glad to hear you're mom is doing well and hope she gets her car fixed up!!
Many cars are designed this way and it only for your safety, granted in this case the airbags most likely did not need to deploy, but my guess is that this car had gen 1 air bags. If this car had the newer gen 2 airbags then they most likely would not have deployed.
~EDIT~ I think this car did have the gen 2 I think they put it on 98 and new vehicles, from the looks of the damage I don�t understand why the air bags deployed.
