On january 16, 2021, I was traveling down main street in round rock, texas where I rear ended another vehicle at approximately 30 MPH. As I slammed on my brakes to stop, I felt my brakes started pulsating, making it difficult for me to come to a complete stop. My car was deemed unrepairable, and was a total loss. The radiator was cracked, and the frame was bent making it difficult to open the door. I had a couple bruises not severe that I needed to go to the hospital.
