Consumer Description

I WAS GOING DOWN FERN VALLEY ROAD IN LOUISVILLE, KY AND SOMEONE IN FRONT OF ME SLAMMED ON THEIR BRAKES AND TO AVOID COLLISION I SLAMMED ON MINE. I HEARD A CRUNCH AND WHEN I TOOK OFF MY DRIVER SIDE TIRE SOUNDED LIKE IT WAS SQUEALING SO I PULLED OFF TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD TO SEE WHAT WAS WRONG. MY DRIVER SIDE TIRE WAS COCKED SIDEWAYS AND THE PASSENGER SIDE WAS STRAIGHT. I DIDN'T KNOW WHAT HAD HAPPENED YET SO I JUST GOT IT TOWED. IT APPEARS THE SUBFRAME HAS SNAPPED DUE TO A LARGE AMOUNT OF RUST.
