1 Vehicle Speed Control problem

Failure Date: 01/28/2010

My wife was driving Mazda Mpv van which is 2002 model. She was driving at about 20-25 mph and tried to apply the brakes when she saw another car approaching the road; the brakes did not engage and she started hearing some heavy sound coming from engine. The van continued to accelerate and she had to take wide turn to go right on another road. My wife tried to apply brakes several times but van was still accelerating and reached about 35-40 mph or higher. She had to crash the van in the trees which were there in the middle divider section of the road. Two to three trees got broken before the van got stuck in one of the trees and then stopped. During this crash, front tires got burst, front of the van got total damage, middle section of the van also got damaged and my wife got neck and back injuries. The van is currently located in the liberty mutual insurance company warehouse in sacramento.
