problem #3

Nov 172006

SL 4-cyl

  • Manual transmission
  • 89,000 miles
I was traveling on the freeway at 75 mph (speed limit.) the truck in front of me hit the brakes. I applied my brakes as I should have had enough distance to slow down enough. My brakes locked-up and I slid into the pick-up truck in front of me at about 65 mph. The seat belts worked, but the air bags did not deploy. My car was totaled. I was injured and taken by ambulance to the hospital.
