Consumer Description

I WAS ON MY WAY HOME AND IT WAS RAINING ON THE EXPRESSWAY BUT BY THE TIME I GOT TO THE CITY I LIVE IT HAD STOP. I WAS EXITING THE EXPRESSWAY AND WAS TURNING A LEFT ON THE STREET I LIVE ON. I HAD MADE MY TURN AT ABOUT 30 MPH AND AFTER I HAD MADE MY TURN THE CAR WAS STRAIGHT FOR AWHILE THEN ALL THE SUDDEN THE CAR ACTED UP AND THE STEERING WHEEL OR THE WHEELS OR SOMETHING HAPPEN THAT MADE MY CAR MAKE A SHARP U-TURN GOING IN FRONT OF ONGOING TRAFFIC. MY CAR WENT STRAIGHT IN FRONT OF A CAR AND SHE DIDN'T HAVE TIME TO STOP SO SHE HIT ME AND WE BOTH WENT ONTO THE ISLAND. I HAVE NO IDEA WHAT HAPPENED BUT LUCKILY WE WERE BOTH GOING SLOW THAT NONE OF US WERE HURT BUT OUR CARS WERE IN BAD CONDITIONS. I'M LOOKING AT 3,000 DAMAGE ON MY CAR, AND PROBABLY 4,000 DAMAGE TO HER CAR. I WANT TO SAY IT WAS BC OF THE RAIN, BUT THE ROAD WASN'T WET AND I JUST GOT NEW TIRES AND JUST GOT A OIL CHANGE. I MAINTAIN MY CAR VERY WELL SO I HAVE NO IDEA WHY THAT WOULD HAPPEN. *TR
