Wrecked my 2013 Yaris today!! no airbag deployment?????

I am pretty sure it is a total loss. I rear ended an old Silverado. I estimate i was going around 30, and he was almost at a complete stop. Crazy thing is....my airbag(s) didnt deploy. It hit hard enough to crumple the hood, and push the drivers side fender back far enough that it causes the driver door to not open properly. The passenger side also was pushed back, but not as far, although something did cause the lower right passenger side windshield to crack. Both fenders are gone. one headlight is damaged (the brackets not the lens) the radiator supports are gone, and the radiator/condenser/cooling fan are all pushed back into the engine block. The coolant did leak out from under the car following the accident. Also one of the wiring connections (presumably for turn signal/headlight) was ripped out, and its been moved far enough so the wire isnt long enough to reach anymore. I estimate the support is caved in 8-10 inches on the drivers side.


Any ideas why the airbag didnt deploy? Ive heard Toyota airbags have a tendancy not to. I know wrecker drivers arent body guys/engineers, but he, the cops that came, myself, and a few gearhead friends were shocked.


From the damage do you guys think its totaled? Its a base model L no power windows. it also has 136K miles
