My fiance and I werw driving a borrowered 1997 toyota 4runner. We were driving at 65 m and all I remember just gettin on the freeway.and blanking out.. When I woke up I sadly discoverd that my fiance lost control and veered to the right and hit a guardrail then a post sign and then rested on a tree..he passed away on impact. I suffered a t1 to t3 spine fracture.my left wrist fractured.a broken nose. As I woke up from my 3 week coma. I realised he passed away. Now the truck was borrwed, not lended or bought.
The treads of my continental tires separated when I was traveling on the freeway. My car lost traction and spun uncontrollably when I was driving on freeway. My tires were purchased 5 years ago and have about 75,000 miles on them. The other 3 continental tires also show substantial wear that are beyond the typical wear and tear.
