What owners wrote

I had slowed down to look for an address on a dead end street which abutted up to a chain link fence and an embankment just off of I-5 in lakewood, washington. My 83 year old mother was riding in the passenger seat. My nitro rapidly accelerating to approximately 70-80 MPH. I crashed through a chain link fence and struck a tree. If it wasn't for the tree I would have ended up on I-5 and possibly collided with northbound traffic. The airbags did not deploy.
