Description of the problem | I was proceeding north bound on meadowbrook pkwy, in my 2009 toyota camry. I intended to go west on southern state pkwy. I had to make a legal left turn from meadowbrook pkwy, onto a curved entrance roadway. The caution sign instructed a 50 mph speed limit for this left turn. I was driving less than 50 mph. I applied my brakes to slow down, at that point. My car sped up rather than slowing down. I lost total control of my toyota. I am not certain of the order, but i swayed left, right, and spun around all several times. I crossed the entire 3 lanes on southern state pkwy. And nearly collided with the steel road dividers. My toyota's front and rear were heavily damaged. My car was totaled. At the same time, my car struck a commercial limo who made an attempt to save me on the hwy, thankfully. The worst part of this accident is that i could have been killed and it could have been my last day. Updated ivoq 03/25/11 updated ivoq 05/24/11 |
