Toyota Camry Vehicle Speed Control Safety Report | Nov 20, 2010
Reported on Nov 20, 2010
| HEADING EAST ON RT. 41 AND UPON INTERING AN INTERSECTION ON A GREEN LIGTH I SLOWED TO ALLOW 2 CARS TO PASS FROM THE ONCOMING EAST TRAFFIC BEFORE MAKING A LEFT TURN NORTH ONTO A 4 LANE STREET. UPON ACCELERATING TO MAKE THE TURN, THE CAR HIT THE RIGHT CURB AT A HIGH RATE OF SPEED CAUSING ME TO QUICKLY STEER TO THE LEFT TO STOP ME FROM HITTING THE ON COMING TRAFFIC FROM THE NORTH.. I MANAGED TO CROSS TWO LANES BUT IN THE THIRD LANE WAS HIT BY AN ONCOMING SOUTH BOUND VEHICLE.. MY CAR WAS THEN STOPPED BY THE LEFT HAND CURB. THE OTHER VEHICLE WAS DEMOLISHED AND $8,000 DAMAGE WAS CAUSED TO MY FRONT END. THE AIR BAGS IN THE DEMOLISHED CAR WERE DEPLOYED BUT MINE WERE NOT. I FEEL AS THOUGH THE VEHICLE SUDDENLY EXCELERATED CAUSING THE ACCIDENT SO AFTER HAVING THE CAR REPAIRED AND CHECKED I COULD NOT FEEL SAFE IN IT SO TRADED IT OFF THE ONE THAT I COULD. *LN | |
