What owners wrote

While traveling with the flow of traffic (40-45 miles) an hour I had a collision with cars in front of me. As a result of the collision I was knocked unconscious. Dazed and injured I could not recall the details of the moments just before the collision, to the police. All that I could remember was trying desperately to stop the vehicle but it would not stop.
