“I was turning into a restaurant ( I was completely stopped) and as I got the chance to take the turn, it became extremely hard to turn the wheel, luckily my son was sitting next to me and he had to manually help me to turn the car. I hit the curb but luckily managed to pull out of the street and out of the way of traffic. It was a highway so people were going about 55-60 MPH (I got honked at). We pulled in stopped at the entrance. We turned off the engine, my son went out to look at the damage and if anything was wrong with the tires. …”
