It was not the accident itself, rather her injuries were caused by the force behind a violent deployment of an 'original' 1st-generation high-powered airbag (1994). A few years later, during her recovery, she was confronted by yet another airbag. This time it was the re-designed 2nd-generation airbag (1997).
