Reported on Feb 02, 2005
| ON 2-2-05 I WAS INVLOVED IN A CRASH THAT WAS CAUSED BY A MALFUNCTION WITHIN A VEHICLE THAT I WAS DRIVING. IT WAS A 1999 ISUZU RODEO. I HAD COME TO A STOP, PULLING INTO A PARKING SPACE BETWEEN TWO VEHICLES AT A WALGREENS STORE IN ENID, OKLAHOMA WHEN SUDDENLY THE ENGINE SURGED, THE WHOLE TIME I WAS FIGHTING THE ACCELERATION WITH THE BRAKES BUT THEY JUST MADE A NOISE SIMILAR TO WHEN YOU LOCK ABS BREAKS ON ICE. THE VEHICLE STRUCK A BRICK PILLAR THAT COLLAPSED ON TOP ON THE VEHICLE ALMOST KILLING ME AND INJURING MY LOWER/MIDDLE BACK IN THE PROCESS.THE TIRES CONTINUED TO SPIN EVEN AFTER I EXITED THE VEHICLE, I HAVE PHOTOS FOR PROOF. I AM FILING A LAWSUIT AGAINST ISUZU MOTORS OF AMERICA FOR FAULTY PRODUCTS THAT RESULTED IN THE CRASH THAT ALMOST TOOK MY LIFE AND INJURED MY BACK. IF YOU HAVE ANY INFORMATION PLEASE LET ME KNOW. I'M TWENTY THREE YEARS OLD AND WAS NOT PHYSICALLY IMPAIRED AT THE TIME THE WRECK OCCURED. THIS PROBLEM SHOULD BE LOOKED AT AND CORRECTED BEFORE THIS HAPPENS TO SOMEONE ELSE.I HAVE WITNESSES THAT CAN ATTEST TO WHAT HAPPENED. THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME. *AK | |
