Doesn't matter what hits where, if the vehicle is moving in a given direction and stops suddenly then airbags on the forward edge (in this case the side of the vehicle) will deploy.They are essentially designed to cushion the body from hitting the interior of the car - not to prevent the object (gutter/tree/oncoming vehicle) from hitting the occupant. The sudden stop would have been registered by the SRS computer which deployed the air bags.

Doesn't matter what/how the vehicle is stopped. The actual main module sits in front of your gear selector. There are also additional sensors behind the front bumper, but the one that does most of the work is right in the centre of the cabin.

These sensors are usually mounted in the front door, the B post, or most are located inside of the rocker panel just below the B post.
