## Narrative
I was traveling at a low speed in a parking lot and went to turn into a parking spot. Once pulling into the spot the brake stopped responding despite pressing. Also automatic braking did not activate. The car went up on the curb and towards the building. I continued to try to brake and turn away from the building. The front of the car clipped the building and the air bags were not deployed. Finally the car was stopped by rocks in front of the store front.
