Sodhi's cab was equipped with an L-shaped shield, a plastic barrier that surrounds the back of the driver and goes up to the dashboard. The Manitoba Taxicab Board is phasing out the L-shaped shield in favour of a full shield across the backseat because of safety concerns recently raised in an engineer's report.
Arvin Sodhi believes the shield contributed to his father's injuries.
"He had a big gash on his head and it's quite apparent it's the shield," he said.

The pictures showing the cut and uncut airbag make me wonder if the EMT's cut it to extract the driver through the front passengers' door.
If so, the partition should have been an obstruction for the EMT's access to the driver.
