| Description of the problem | On saturday, march 13, 2010 around 4:30 to 5:00pm, my wife [xxx] exited nw 5th court from i95 to nw [xxx] miami, florida. As she was approaching the stop sign on [xxx] , she commenced to press the brakes. To her demise, after pushing the brake pedal to stop, the vehicle, a 2007 toyota tundra crew cab did not stop, instead, automatically increased speed to over 20 mph. She was forced to make a left turn on 71st street to avoid an accident or from crashing until a 1990 to 1994 green ford explorer going at speeds well over 50 mph on nw 5th court coming from the east to west, rammed/crashed into the front passenger side of the toyota tundra as my wife was making the left trying to evade traffic and make the tundra stop. His ford explorer completely totaled the tundra. I then arrived at the scene to find my wife with serious injuries and took her to the er. I was so glad to see she was alive and was able to carefully transport her to the hospital. If someone would have crashed into the driver side or a front end collision occurred, my wife would definitely have not survived. I feel, god was on her side that day and gave her a second chance at life. The man in the green ford explorer could have slowed down and stopped, but did not. Maybe, if he didn |
