I was driving down a country road and had just dropped my kids off thank goodness. Nothing seemed to be wrong when all of a sudden the engine revved high. I was try'n to look to see what was go'n on when I wrecked into the ditch about 60MPH. Out of nowhere the transmission failed and was stuck n a ditch and no one to help.
