Unsure about actual mileage or amount of property damage; brake pedal went to the floor when attempted to stop and crashed into the car in front which in turn crashed into another car; my insurance CO. Field expert engineer opines that the crash caused the radiator to put a crimp in the brake line which is totally contrary to what happened. I swear under penalty of perjury that when I depressed the brake pedal it went to the floor and I hit the car in front of me.
