Narrative

I was driving to work on 10/5/2026. Because I am in a wheelchair, my vehicle is adapted with the Scott’s Driving System. Traffic started to slow down and I pulled back on the adapted steering wheel, which is the braking mechanism, but the steering wheel would not move. It felt locked. I had to drive off to the side of the road to avoid hitting the car in front of me. Unfortunately, I hit a mailbox, trash can and ultimately a tree before my car came to a stop. Not only did the brakes fail, but the safety restraints also did not work properly and I landed on the floor. I fractured my foot, sprained both ankles, and received multiple bruises and a large abrasion from the seatbelt. My car is totaled.
