Consumer Description

LEFT HOUSE DRIVING EAST ON 8200S WHEN APPROX 5200 W I LOST STEERING AND VEERED TO THE RIGHT, HITTING A STREET LIGHT AND SKIDDING ALONG A CONCRETE FENCE. I STOPPED, EXITED VEHICLE AND TWO MEN THAT WITNESSED COME UP AND SAID YOUR STEERING ARM BROKE, AT THE TIME I WAS IN SHOCK AND ATTRIBUTED THEM SAYING ARM BEING BROKE WAS RESULT OF ACCIDENT BUT THAT WOULD EXPLAIN WHY LOST CONTROL OF VEHICLE, I ASSUME THEY ALSO CALLED POLICE AS I NEVER MADE THE CALL AND OFFICER SHOWED UP ON SCENE. THE NEXT DAY I MET WITH AUTO BODY SHOP AND THEY WAS AS IN SHOCK AS I AS HE LOOKED UNDER VEHICLE AND POINTED OUT THE BROKEN PART AND SAID THIS IS WHAT CAUSED YOU TO LOOSE STEERING. I AM THANKFUL WAS NOT ON FREEWAY DRIVING FASTER SPEED AND THAT I DIDN'T HAVE MY SMALL CHILD WITH ME, THANK GOD NO ONE WAS INJURED. *TR
