While driving on wet road driver wa sapproaching a stop sign, upon applying ABS brakes, ehicle failed to stop. Went through intersection onto busy highway wher eit was hit by a passenger car. Driver/passenger sustained injuries.
I was involved in a traffic collision in which my brakes failed to stop my vehicle. When I pressed the brakes during a sudden stop, the brakes started to slow down my truck but then the pedal went all the way down to the floor with a rubbing noise and my truck kept traveling until I hit the vehicle in front of me.
