Consumer Description

I WAS DRIVING WEST ON HIGHWAY. I WAS DRIVING IN THE LEFT LANE AT A SPEED OF APPROXIMATELY BETWEEN 70 TO 72 MILES PER HOUR. MY VEHICLE SWERVED TOWARDS LEFT A BIT, AND TO COMPENSATE THAT I TRIED TO STEER TOWARDS RIGHT. AT THIS TIME, VEHICLE WENT OUT OF CONTROL AND I HAD NO CONTROL OVER THE STEERING. THE VEHICLE WENT TO THE NEXT LANE AND SPUN ONE TIME AND WENT TOWARDS THE LEFT LANE. IT THEN CHANGED DIRECTION AND WAS FACING NORTH, WENT FOUR LANES OVER AND HIT THE MEDIAN HEAD-ON AND THIS COLLISION BROUGHT THE VEHICLE TO COMPLETE HALT. BOTH AIR BAGS WERE DEPLOYED AND VEHICLE HAD EXTENSIVE DAMAGE. IT LOOKS LIKE, IT WAS A MECHANICAL FAILURE WHICH LED TO THE CRASH. *JB
