| 1999 | POWER TRAIN | I WAS DRIVING DOWN AN INTERSTATE ROAD ON THE MORNING OF JULY 3RD 2000. A CONSIDERABLE AMOUNT OF RAIN HAD FALLEN ON THE ROAD AND IT WAS STILL RAINING SLIGHTLY THE SECTION OF THE ROAD THAT I WAS ON WAS COMPLETELY STRAIGHT. I WAS IN THE LEFT LANE DOING ABOUT 55MPH ON THE 65MPH ROAD WHEN I FELT THE CAR LURCH AND BEGIN TO TURN TOWARD THE LEFT. I LOOKED DOWN AT MY INSTRUMENT PANEL AND NOTICED THAT MY TACHOMETER WAS ON ZERO AND MY WARNING LIGHTS WERE ALL ON. THE CAR STARTED TO SPIN COUNTERCLOCKWISE VERY QUICKLY AND CROSSED OVER THREE LANES OF TRAFFIC WHERE IT FINALLY CRASHED INTO A GUARDRAIL ON THE RIGHT SIDE OF THE ROAD. I WAS FACING ONCOMING TRAFFIC WHEN THE CAR FINALLY SETTLED. *AK |
