| I was driving in traffic on a two lane road. i heard a load bang and my car began to speed up. i tried braking but i could not slow or stop the car. with traffic in front of me i pulled into the left lane not seeing any oncoming traffic. then a car was coming in that lane so i threw the car into park and pulled up on emergency brake. since it was raining, the rear end of the car came around and i got hit on the passenger side rear door. the car finally stopped against a fence with the engine still racing. *tr | |||
