“I was approaching a traffic signal. I hit my brakes when realizing the light was red. The anti-lock brakes locked up and I slid through the light hitting a turning car. This resulted in a frontal impact, but the airbags did not deploy. The vehicle is totaled.”

“On september 28th 2006 I was driving my 2005 chevy trailblazer ext down the road between 55 and 60 MPH. It had started raining about 5 minutes earlier. I started up the hill and was approaching the other road I needed to turn on and gently applied the brakes. As soon as I applied the brakes, the vehicle went out of control. I tried to pump the brakes and get the vehicle back into control but had no luck. I then crossed the center line and crashed head on into the guard rail on the other side of the road. …”
