“My wife and I were driving our spyder on hwy. #2 from sedro woolly to winthrop, wa. We were travelling with two other vehicles which were ahead of us. The road is very curvy through the mountains and we kept to the speed limits posted. The weather was sunny and the roads dry. We were travelling east and having an enjoyable time. However at mile 144 we came across another curve in the road and the spyder steering froze and would not turn. It went straight into the other lane of traffic and straight into the guard railing. We were travelling at the posted speed of 35 MPH. …”
