What owners wrote
It was a main road that was recently repaved. It is a main road. It is asphalt. I was driving at night. It had rained all day but was not raining at the time of crash. There is traffic on this main road so I was going about 25 miles per hour. Suddenly the car accelerated and went right. I hit a parked car and my car flipped over. I was cut out of the car and taken to the hospital. I have cuts and bruises but I am otherwise ok. The airbags worked. What I am concerned about are the tires.
Hen attempting to start engine of parked vehicle, nothing happened when key was turned. Took several attempts to start car each time.
