After purchasing my Corolla my car powered down. I took it back to the dealership and they checked it and stated there was nothing wrong with it. This was in November 2020. On 1/16/2021 I was driving on a highway and the same thing happened, everything just powered down. I was fortunate enough to get the vehicle off the road and called the dealership. This was around 6:00pm. I then called my family and told them where I was and what happened. A passerby stopped to assist me and got my car running by jumping it off. An hour later I was sitting in a private drive waiting on traffic to pass before pulling out. The next thing I know I was hit by another vehicle. The vehicle that hit me then went over to the other lane and sideswiped a truck that had a low boy trailer attached to it. It is my understanding is that when the truck hit the other truck after hitting me that is when the 3 people in the truck were killed. Two of the people were ejected and the other partially ejected. The people in the 2nd truck told police that I failed to yield the right of way. They never asked me what happened and took the other drivers word at what happened. There were no skid marks from either truck on the roadway. If I was pulling out I am sure there would be skid marks.
