Daughter was driving on FM road on coming vehicle on wrong side struck daughter car head on. Daughters car caught on fire, seat belts locked or froze passenger unable to unlock seat belt. Daughter died passenger received burns to hands.daughters car was in motion.
Basically the car shut down driving down the pennsylvania turnpike on friday morning at 65 MPH, the car totally shut down. This happened 2 times at 65 MPH and one time at about 25 MPH while entering the turnpike. I was very lucky that the tractor trailer behind me going about 70 MPH, saw something was wrong with my car and had time moved over into the passing or he would have hit my car and killed me. This happen one more time during my morning commute at that speed.
