“On 10/22/26 me and my son were driving home from a football game. We were less than 5 minutes away when several warning lights flashed for a second. I was in the middles of an intersection when this happened. The car stopped and the engine reved. I tried to drive to the sode of the road away from traffic.

After several minutes the car finally died. …”
