2008 Chevrolet Malibu steering problems

According to witness, my son was stopped at a red light on a two lane main road (on each side). His 2008 chevy malibu was on the outer lane when all of a sudden veered to the left as if heading towards a driveway ( when he originally was going straight to pick up a co worker). The car immediately jerked to the right, crashing into a tree, where parts of the vehicle became embedded into the tree. My son passed away instantly. The speedometer registered 66 MPH at impact.
