Description of the problem | On the sunny and dry morning of december 9, 2020, i proceeded to alpine cemetery, perth amboy, nj to honor my mother's grave site and her anniversary. As i passed the gate entrance to the cemetery, i turned right; as i have always done in previous years. Once i turned to the right i noticed that there was a burial procession, with the funeral hearse obstructing the entire vehicle path. Since i could not drive forward, the only recourse i had was to turn around and find another vehicle path. Once i had taken the new path, which i believe would lead me to my mother's grave site, i realized that i could not reach her grave site since it was further up the new path. Once i turned the vehicle to the left; the vehicle went automatically backwards then forwards with the sensation of taking off the ground like an airplane. I had no control of the vehicle and the vehicle proceeded automatically hitting numerous tomb stones until one tomb stone stopped the vehicle. This failure occurred numerous times until a 3ft tomb stone stopped the vehicle. The vehicle was taken to the car repair shop, instructed by njm insurance; vnf auto body 732-321-6919, 20 prospect street, metuchen nj 08840. |
