The rear wheel suddenly unlocked and the contact gained control of the vehicle and pulled over to the side of the road. The vehicle was deemed undrivable so the contact had the vehicle towed home. The noise was due to a busted ring and pinion causing grease to spill on to the rear of the vehicle. …”
