| I drove too close to the edge of the pavement and the two right wheels dropped off the pavement and when i tried to pull the car back onto the pavement, the right front wheel struck the pavement in such a way causing the tie-rod to break which left the right front wheel in a full left turn position, i lost control of the steering wheel and the vehicle continued down the road in a left turn arc causing the vehicle to slide broadside into a ditch which caused the vehicle to roll three times--stopping in the upright position, totalling the vehicle.*ak | |||
