Westbound Pontiac Bonnevile driven by 34 year old male collided with an eastbound 1999 Dodge Durango, witness told police it appeared the Pontiac began to skid on rain-slickened pavement as it rounded a curve and hit the Dodge Durango head on. Passenger from Bonneville was transported by Air Ambulance to Tupelo hospital, all others were transported to Corinth hospital. All occupants were restrained and both vehicles had dual air bags.

i dont know who got the worst of that too many bonnevilles dieing today :roll:

the white curse gets another :bdighole:

i think the bonneville got the worst of it...the front end is so demolished that its hard to tell if its an 87-91 or a 92-99!
i'm guessing the latter though....

Passenger compartment held up quite well.

As seen, the front ends are designed to crush and absorb the bulk of the impact, limiting the damage to the passenger compartment and those inside.

Ouch. That's like putting my dad's car versus mine. He has a durango.... sadly.

Anyone know if that was a designed crumple zone in the roof of the Durango? If so its not in the best place IMHO.

it was a 95+ bonneville

Yar, dual air bags.

I didn't even recognize it as a bonneville when I read the paper. At least no one was killed. There was another wreck that happened about 20 minutes earlier somewhere else with a 99 ford taurus and a passenger died- none of those occupants wore their seatbelts.

Dual airbags started in 92.

That is an SE/SLE from the spacing of what's left of the fogs and the narrow cladding on the sides.

But from what I'm seeing, it could be anything from 92-99. Probably not a 92, as it would have to be an SSEi to have dual airbags.

And imagine that.... it's a white bonnie too!

:?

Arn't you contradicting yourself there? All bonnie's got dual airbags in 92....

Don't you just love how the roofs on SUV's crush like coke cans?

No they didn't. Only the SSE and SSEi did. The SE never had duals.

My car doesn't have dual airbags.

Because you have an SE. SSE's and SSEi's had dual airbags in 92.

Bill...his car is a 93

Bil, 93 SE's didn't have dual airbags either.

I know, John said all Bonnies got them in 92.

Does "Wife and Mother in law" count????

You are so so so BAD!!! I'm gonna tell your wife on you :P

Hm, I thought all bonnies 92+ had dual airbags... I'm gonna go check :roll:

My 94 SE/SLE only had the single in the steering wheel...nothing in the passenger dash.

Jseabert's 93 SSE doesn't, but most did. No SE from 92/93 will. Apparently not all 93SLE's as well, if any.

Not sure when duals started, but my loaded 95SLE has duals, as does my 93SSEi.

INTERESTING...

Looks like it was standard on SSEi's in 92, as you said, and then it was included in an option group on SSE "1SB" models...

When did the dual airbags requirement come into effect? That could be the reason it was an option up to a certain year.

I belive it was 1997 :?:

I believe in 1995 dual air bags were standard on all bonnevilles across the board ;)

And I think your right Driver... It may have been 97..
