In an accident which set off the unoccupied passenger front air bag and passenger seatbelt pretensioner the driver's front airbag did not deploy! Seat belt pretensioner for driver did not activate as well. Does anyone know how is this possible?

The car has only one front crash sensor, why does it discriminate in a front impact to activate one airbag and not the other? Scary! :ohno:
