Description of the problem | On sunday, april 15,2018, i was preparing to make a right turn on merrimac avenue in norfolk va , on my way to church,when i heard a loud screeching noise and loss of steering. A car without an occupant was sitting two car spaces from the corner,my car had struck this car. I got out of my car and saw my front right tire laying flat on the ground and my right fender was smashed. The police and aaa were called. When the aaa driver came he stated that my axle was bent. My air bag did not implod. The police came and no summons was issued. I was given a copy ot the police report that stated that the event was a non-reportable incident >the car was towed to a collision center said that the axle was bent. They ordered another axle and the one sent by the manufacture was damaged! .
