The vehicle suddenly veered to the right pulling my daughter off the road and head on into a telephone pole. The point of impact was the right front of the vehicle, although she was wearing a seat belt and the vehicle was equipt with an air bag she still was thrown head first into the windshield of the car. The air bag did deploy but did not stop her. The vehicle is a total loss.
While driving tire turned without the steering wheel being turned. Then, three seconds later, the wheel corrected itself.
