I was driving and alert came across stared no gas to engine and the stop. I was driving onto i75 45 miles per hour then the car speed dropped to 17 pulled out of the lane to i75 . Went across fruitville road only going 17. Barely made it a place where I could safely pull over before the car completely stopped. If I was on i75 I would have been killed or if tbe car stopped on eight lane fruitville road I would have been killed.
