Consumer Description

I WAS TRAVELING (AND LIKELY SLIGHTLY BRAKING) ON A HIGHWAY OFF-RAMP WHEN I SUDDENLY LOST CONTROL OF MY VEHICLE. IT FELT LIKE THE RIGHT FRONT WHEEL SEIZED UP, AND THEN THE STEERING COLUMN AND DASH STARTED VIOLENTLY SHAKING AND THE CAR FISH-TAILED AROUND. I CRASHED INTO A CONCRETE BARRICADE AND ENDING UP FACING ONCOMING TRAFFIC -- WHICH COULD HAVE KILLED ME AND THE DRIVER OF THE ONCOMING VEHICLE, WHO ALSO ENDED UP CRASHING. WEATHER / VISIBILITY AND ROAD CONDITIONS WERE CLEAR AND DRY, AND THERE WERE NO APPARENT O STRUCTIONS IN THE ROADWAY. AFTER THE CRASH, THE WHEELS MOVED NORMALLY AGAIN AND LOOKED UNAFFECTED.
