Description of the problem	My husband was taking our four youngest children to school oct. 18, 2005, traveling south on i-45 in the houston area in our 2004 malibu classic which had approximately 40,000 miles on it. Witnesses said he swerved around several cars and was going 80+ mph. He pulled onto the shoulder, passed and clipped a car; and then pulled off the freeway into the grassy median. He swerved around a post, a large electric box and a large sign pillar. His left front tire hit a culvert and was flattened. According to an expert, this pulled his car to the left, leaving the car hard to steer. The car hit a sign support structure. All five were killed; the car was demolished and caught fire. According to the police report, this all took place in less than 15 seconds.
