Driving in the right hand lane of traffic at about 35-40 mph, the 2015 Toyota Sienna veered slightly to the right. When attempting to correct the steering wheel, the column was stiff and steering was locked. The van struck the curb, and went head on into an aluminum light post & took out a steel bus bench, & landed in deep wooded area. Suffered fractures and other injuries, however no one else was hurt.
If anyone else has experienced this kind of failure, or has more information on a similar event, please reach out.
