Just Crashed my Yaris

I just came back from the accident and my neck hurts a bit. Sorry if I don't make much sense at the moment.

I was heading back home after leaving my brother at school. The pavement was wet from the rain the night before. Some geniuses at the local county thought it would be a good idea to add a new speed bump at the curb, unpainted the day before. Since the Yaris has no ABS, I just basically skidded off the street and onto a car that had just crashed because of the same reason.

The worst thing about this whole thing was that the guy from the other crash got hit while he was standing in front of his car, and got a dislocated left knee. He was taken by ambulance to a nearby hospital, and he will most likely need surgery to get it fixed. I feel like crap for that, but the guy was very cool and didn't blame me at all.

The other thing I wanted to mention is that even while the crash was pretty much head on, my airbags didn't deploy. I am about to make the necessary calls to my dealership and tear somebody's head off. I advice everyone in this forum to have that double-checked, because in my book this is unacceptable.

Sorry for the rant, but I thought you guys might be interested in knowing how important it is to get those airbags checked.
