When I drove my car into my garage, the car accelerated and smashed into my back garage wall (a load bearing wall), completely detaching it from the top and bottom. I decided to back up the car a foot for clearance for me into my house, but the car then accelerated backwards into the street ramming into my neighbor's vehicle. While my car was now smashed front and back, none of the air bags deployed. I put the car back in drive to remove it from my neighbor's car and again, it accelerated, racing down the street and, across a busy intersection. I had my foot on the brake and was pulling on the emergency (or parking) brake and it finally came to a stop. The police were called and came but said since it was only property damage there would be no report. I shut off the ignition.

This is a report of brake failure that caused a vehicle collision with injuries. On October 29, 2016, I rented a 2016 Toyota Corolla from a betterway rent-acar, Inc. D/ba budget rent a car of atlanta, at 6509 roswell rd, atlanta, ga 30328. The Toyota had 21,619 miles at the time of the rental. At approximately 12:30pm I was driving southeast on jimmy carter blvd in norcross Georgia. The weather was clear and sunny and the road was dry. Upon departing a traffic light, I accelerated to approximately 20 mph in moderate traffic towards vehicles waiting at the intersection of jimmy carter blvd and rockbridge school road one block away. I began applying the brakes long before reaching the vehicles waiting at the next intersection, however the car's brake action was minimal. As I completely depressed the brake pedal, I heard a clicking sound similar to the engagement of an anti-lock braking system (ABS), however there was no significant deceleration. When I fully depressed the brake pedal, I did not hear an increase in engine RPM, the automatic transmission did not downshift, and the vehicle did not accelerate. As a result of the Toyota's brake failure, I impacted a stationary vehicle at the intersection of jimmy carter blvd and rockbridge school road. The Toyota's airbags did not deploy. There were no skidmarks at the scene of the accident. I suffered injuries as well as multiple occupants in the other vehicle.

I was making a left-hand turn on a two-lane highway. The individual behind me was not paying attention and did not stop. Instead of swerving to the right to miss me, she swerved into the oncoming traffic lane just as I was turning left. Her GMC 2500 heavy duty pick-up impacted my car at the driver door, front pillar, front fender.the impact pushed my car over 30 ft down the road before pushing my car approximately 20 ft off the road, up a slight hill. In this impact, no airbags deployed. The state trooper at the scene, the insurance company, and the tow truck driver are all stunned by this fact. In this accident my head hit the pillar next to my door causing me to be knocked unconscious, giving me a concussion and causing a head laceration requiring staples in my head. The tow truck driver said the cartridge in the seat belt assembly did not deploy and my collar bone was broken as well. My car was going about 5 miles per hour at the moment of impact. I was sitting in traffic prior to making the left-hand turn. In addition, I did have a progressive snap-shot installed in the car.
