Impact with concrete pillar. Car was a total loss. Driver suffered head injury leading to seizure and three broken vertebrae. Airbags did not deploy.
Without warning, the vehicle stopped accelerating as I was driving so I pulled off the road onto the shoulder. Once the car stopped, smoke began to come through the vents so I exited the vehicle. Several minutes later I could see flames coming from under the hood. Before the fire department could make it to the scene, the entire front end of the car burned completely. The fire department said they were going to classify it as a "mechanical failure".

Toyota has a recall on their fuel pumps and noticed my car was in the article. My fuel pump in my lexus is250 f sport has gone bad and I need to know if it's covered. I typed in my VIN number on this website but it's giving me information on a lexus is200t. My car was stationed and will not start up due to fuel pump
