Leavenworth – Two teens were driving on Highway 2 two miles east of Leavenworth at around 6:15 pm when a deer jumped in front of the car and they hit it.

The airbag deployed, injuring the driver in an undisclosed injury. The passenger suffered injures to the face, said Washington State Patrol.

Both teens were rushed to a hospital in Chelan where they were treated for their injuries.

There have been many reported cases of injury, not from the wreck, but from airbags, the very thing that is supposed to protect the driver from harm. Many consumers have chosen to turn off their passenger side airbags for the chance of injuring or even killing minor and elderly passengers.

If you or a loved one are injured as a result of a defective product, call Phillips Webster for a consultation on your legal rights and options.
