| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: While pulling out on to the main street from a residential housing area, both lanes clear of on coming traffic..dry/sunny day.....12 noon saturday....as i pulled out i saw 60 yards ahead traffic in my lane was stopped for a vehicle 3-4 cars ahead of me making a left hand turn. my speed was under 25 mph and when i went to apply the brakes my 1999 suburban 2wd would not stop. i applied my brakes well in advance of the stopped vehicles, but my suburban continued to move forward with little or not stoppage. i tried to ditch the vehicle to the right but could not due to a telephone pole, road side cemetery and trees. at the time i saw the on coming left lane did not have vehicles coming so i pulled out into that lane. i passed 2 or 3 of the vehicle in my lane before a vehicle traveling in the left lane towards me came. i tried to steer the suburban to the left into the ditch. i was unsuccessful and collided head on with the other vehicle. i had my seat belt on but the seat belt did not stop me from hitting my head on the wind shield causing a star burst crack in the glass. both air bags deployed....cw *jb |
