| Pre-accident conditions: daylight, raining, car stopped at red light. a few minutes prior to arriving at the red light the driver's power seat moved all the way forward completly on its own accord after stopping at the red light i re-adjusted the driver's seat and when the light turned green i proceeded making a right turn in my normal old lady fashion. about 3/4 through the 90 degree turn the rear wheels lost traction and began to slide to the left. i immediately hit the brake and turned the wheel to the left. (i suppose it is possible that i accidently hit the cruise control button located on the wheel at this time). anyway the car engine contiued to rev and the rear wheels continued to spin, driving me into a complete 360 degree turn, all the time with my food hard on the brake pedal. while in this spin the rear of the car jumped a median curb twice, crossed two lanes of asphalt, jumped another curb and finally crash into a concrete light pole. only then did the car stall and the drive wheels stop spinning.*ak | |||
