| Description of the problem | Steering wheel locked while driving: we came from a water fest that afternoon but because of the weather we have to packed and go home. My mother, 8 years old son is with me and my dog. We are heading home in a two lane street. It's was raining and there is a lot of cars. In a sudden blink of an eye i was surprised that my steering wheeel of my truck is not moving. It was locked in 11 o'clock angle heading to on coming. I tried to control it no time it's just second, i know it's going to hit and all come out in my voice is mama. The time after accident i'm all shaken. I'm so terrified my friend told me i was in shocked for a little while. When i gain consciousness, i saw my friend hubby trying wake me up. I looked for my boy. I saw my mom in pain, can't move out of my car. I feel numb and my legs are shaking. Seing my boy outside and mom makes me happy. But i'm worried about the car that hit. I cnt walked that far until unbulance took us all. |
