SERVICE BRAKES
ON JANUARY 26, 2015, I WAS TRAVELING ON THE HIGHWAY TO TAKE MY DAUGHTER TO SCHOOL WHEN A DRIVER AT LEAST 2 CAR DISTANCES IN FRONT OF ME CAME TO AN ABRUPT STOP WHICH CAUSED ME TO PUT ON MY BRAKES SO THAT I WILL HAVE ENOUGH TIME TO STOP AT A GOOD ENOUGH DISTANCE SO THAT I DO NOT HIT THEM. HOWEVER, AFTER DOING SO MY CAR KEPT SLIDING AND I WAS UNABLE TO DO ANYTHING AND THE CAR STILL HIT THE DRIVER IN FRONT OF ME. WE ALL LEFT THE SCENE IN AN AMBULANCE. I DO NOT KNOW THE STATUS OF THE OTHER DRIVER, BUT I AM SUFFERING FROM SEVERE BACK PAIN, SOME NECK PAIN AND I HAVE HEADACHES. THIS ISSUE NEEDS TO BE CHECKED BEFORE SOMEONE ENDS OF DYING. I AM GLAD THAT NO ONE WAS KILLED IN THIS ACCIDENT.
