Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: Traffic was moving in front of grace covenant church, there was an officer directing traffic. my husband put on the brakes at the moment he realized traffic was not moving any longer. the brakes locked up. when you look at the tire marks on the road, it is apparent the right side tire locked first (the tire mark is much longer) then the left side tire locked (tire mark on road much shorter). he was unable to stop the vehicle before it struck the vehicle in front. the airbag did not deploy in this accident. the concern is that this truck is believed to have abs which means it was malfunctioning since the tires locked up. the concern is this may have contributed to the accident in that he was not able to get the vehicle stopped in time. it was a hard impact which it appears will cause the vehicle to be totaled. *jb
