While driving stright ahead on a city street, at approximately 30-35mph, the axle shaft on the front, right side of the car broke. The broken axle shaft caused an accident where my car went to the right and I hit the back-left side of a van; that impact sent the right side of the car up in the air where I was only traveling on the two left wheels. Although I thought my car was going to flip and land on it's roof, the car did come back down on the right wheels, but landed/hit the front of the van and the back of a pick-up truck.
