“I was driving down a 6 lane highway with a median in the middle. I was in the left hand lane/fast lane driving atleast 35-40mph. I hit a bump in the road and my ignition switched from run to off causing me to lose all power in the vehicle.. Since I was in the left lane luckily a turn around was near and I was able to safely pull the vehicle over before my steering wheel locked up.”
