Description of the problem | I was driving to work one morning. When i got into a car accident and hit a car almost head on. As my traffic light turned red i started to break but my brakes locked up on me. Which felt like a brick. I tried to pump the brakes but it would not pump it just stayed very hard like a brick. I start to slide while not really reducing speed i turned my steering wheel a little bit trying to avoid the on coming traffic when my steering wheel locked as well causing me slide right into a car. |
