Description of the problem | Tl* the contact owned a 2013 toyota rav4. While driving approximately 10 mph on a road without sidewalks, a bicyclist made a sudden right turn and ended up too far in the roadway. The bicyclist also had a dog on a leash. To avoid hitting the pedestrian and dog, the contact suddenly sped up to approximately 20 mph and steered to the right.

The contact sustained a concussion as well as injuries to the head, arms, and chest. Medical attention was needed.

The failure mileage was unknown. |
