What owners wrote
Left house driving east on 8200s when approx 5200 w I lost steering and veered to the right, hitting a street light and skidding along a concrete fence. I stopped, exited vehicle and two men that witnessed come up and said your steering arm broke, at the time I was in shock and attributed them saying arm being broke was result of accident but that would explain why lost control of vehicle, I assume they also called police as I never made the call and officer showed up on scene.
