Glad to hear that everyone involved was not seriously injured. Hope the driver of the truck is feeling better today. I don’t know about brake failure or not I was not there. Alot of rumors going around about what did and didn’t happen but regardless it was an accident and thank God nobody was seriously hurt.
Vara Just like you seen her on her phone that she was not on. Checked with the phone company and no calls, texts or use of phone at that time. Thanks. Mach 10? Not likely.
Brake failure? Come on, it’s been DECADES since that was a legitimate excuse for running into someone. Maybe in your 1972 Ford the brakes might fail, but in a car built in the last 15-20 years? No way. Cars are highly engineered pieces of equipment. Brakes don’t “fail”, drivers do.
The brakes did not fail. I heard them load and clear before she hit my truck at mach 10.
exactly!
> funny they don’t mention that the brakes on the Saturn failed!!!!!
The report provided by the FHP does not mention brake failure.
funny they don’t mention that the brakes on the Saturn failed!!!!!!!!!!
People need to be CAREFULL!!!!!!!!!!!
