“I did not know about this site and this accident happened in oct 2014. I was going around a curve with 40 MPH speed limit and I was going 40 MPH. I started to brake as this was downhill and a very large truck and I did not wish to increase speed as I followed the curve. My brakes did not respond and sank to the floor with no resistance. I had no steering ability either. I ended up in a head-on collision with a very large tree and the airbags failed. …”
