Description of the problem | I was driving in traffic on a two lane road. I heard a load bang and my car began to speed up. I tried braking but i could not slow or stop the car. With traffic in front of me i pulled into the left lane not seeing any oncoming traffic. Then a car was coming in that lane so i threw the car into park and pulled up on emergency brake. Since it was raining, the rear end of the car came around and i got hit on the passenger side rear door. The car finally stopped against a fence with the engine still racing. |
