Consumer Description

WE PURCHASED A SUBARU OUTBACK ON 2/3/07 AND THE ACCIDENT WAS ON 2/7/07, AT 10:05 AM. I WAS IN CRUISE CONTROL AT 60 MPH AND I WAS IN THE PASSING LANE, ALL OF A SUDDEN I STARTED TO GO TO THE LEFT, AGAINST THE GUARD RAIL, I THOUGHT I WAS ON BLACK ICE, BUT THE ROAD WAS DRY, BUT BECAUSE I THOUGHT IT WAS ICE, I DID NOT TOUCH THE BRAKE, AND THEREFORE I WAS STILL GOING 60 MPH IN CRUISE CONTROL. I TURNED THE WHEEL TO THE RIGHT AND BACK TO THE LEFT AND THEN TO THE RIGHT AGAIN, STILL ON CRUISE CONTROL, I HIT THE GUARD RAIL ON MY RIGHT...HEAD ON...THEN THE CAR BACKED AROUND AND STOPPED WITH THE REAR BUMPER ON THE SAME GUARD RAIL THAT I HAD HIT HEAD ON. *JB
