| I was driving a 2008 nissan versa hatchback [xxx] at 50mph in a 50mph zone in the left lane of a two-lane westbound street at 5:03pm on a day in september, 2009 when a car in front of me came to a complete stop in order to make a left hand turn (where there was no turn pocket). i did not notice that the vehicle was stationary until it was too late - i hit the brakes as hard as i could. the vehicle was equipped with anti-lock brakes, but i immediately went into a very straight, wheels-locked skid, decelerating to a speed of approximately 20mph at the moment of impact. the two occupants of the vehicle i hit were injured, at least one of them was hospitalized. my car was totaled since the repair estimate came in at the same amount as the loan payoff amount. the anti-lock brakes had worked well in two emergency stops earlier in the year. the accident left a 30+ foot long set of skid marks at the accident scene. information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6). *tr | |||
