    Glad there was no injuries, looked like it was a fine Buick lesabre. But if it went airborne and hit the trees, why didn’t the airbags come out? #wheretheairbags

    Of course when the real driver is found he/she will deny wrecking, that someone stole the car, etc. Very common practice in the north end of the county.
