“On 4/12/06 I was going westbound toward tacoma, I made a left turn into a highway divide to cross traffic to go to the doctors office. Traffic was heavy because of the time of day. So I decided to make a left hand turn and go another direction. I waited for traffic so I could proceed. I made a left hand turn into traffic and it felt like my car 1996 mustang, fishtailed (sunny day dry pavement) so I tried to correct it and the steering wheel was locked and the car took off, so I proceeded to step on the brake as hard as I could but it made no difference. …”
