Husband in minor crash got pneumonia after breathing in 'noxious' gases and powder when the bag burst

A husband involved in a minor car crash died months later after breathing in the ‘noxious’ contents of an airbag.

Ronald Smith’s wife June was relieved when he arrived home apparently uninjured following the six-car shunt, an inquest heard.

However he told her the airbag had been torn open by a shard of glass as it inflated and he had inhaled the gases it contained along with a large amount of white powder.
