That's a scary set of pictures. Hope your wife is ok too!

The side sensor on each side of the car is located near the floorboard in the area between the gill slits and the front door jamb. That other vehicle just about hit it directly. With that kind of damage, the impact location, and description you gave, I don't know why the side curtains or side seat bags didn't deploy.

I had the side curtain bags deploy without an impact because the computer algorithm predicted a rollover - but that's another thread altogether.

Keep us posted.
