We were driving straight on I 5. In red bluff California headed to lodi CA. The car just started making a noise and then the vehicle started swiirving left to right with control or response from the steering wheell we hit going 65mph. And we were smashed into a guard rail head on. Then spun out all over the freeway. Car is totaled and no air bags deployed. Happened at 1435 in the afternoon. Dry sunny conditions , and we had a 11 month old in the car behind me on passenger side. And a 4 yr old behind my wife whom was driving. Scary , my goal is to prevent this from happening to other family's like mine. My wife and I were lucky to only walk away injured. And kids tramitized but alive. . Thank god. But another family might not be so lucky unless this is addressed.
