additional type: https://schema.org/AccidentReport
start date: 2018-05-28
description: WENT TO START CAR WOULDN'T START OR TURN OVER. RECEIVED JUMP FROM ROADSIDE ASSISTANCE AND WAITED 20 MIN BEFORE ATTEMPTING TO DRIVE TO THE NEAREST AUTO ZONE (2 MILES). ONCE I STARTED DRIVING THE DASHBOARD LIGHTS STARTED FLICKERING AND AS SOON AS I CAME TO A RED LIGHT AT A VERY BUSY 3 LANE INTERSECTION I WAS IN THE MIDDLE LANE AND MY CAR SHUT OFF & WOULDN'T TURN BACK ON. AT THIS POINT, MY ONLY OPTION WAS TO SIT WITHOUT ANY POWER, THEREFORE NO HAZARD LIGHTS, AND WAIT FOR SOMEONE TO HIT ME AS I WAS UNABLE TO LEAVE MY VEHICLE DUE TO HIGH RISK OF BEING HIT BY A CAR. DURING THE TERRIFYING TIME OF WAITING EVENTUALLY I DID GET HIT. WHICH CAUSED A THREE CAR ACCIDENT & PILE-UP ON THIS VERY BUSY ROAD. I WAS THE FRONT VEHICLE AND MY JEEP IS PROBABLY TOTALED AND I WILL BE GOING TO DOCTOR TOMORROW, THE MIDDLE VEHICLE RECEIVED THE MOST DAMAGE & THE PASSENGERS WERE HURT & WENT TO HOSPITAL, THE 3RD VEHICLE (TRUCK) WAS VERY DAMAGED BUT THE DRIVER WAS NOT INJURED. I THEN CALLED 911 & WE FILLED OUT A POLICE REPORT & MY CAR WAS TOWED & THE POLICE DROVE ME HOME LIKE A CRIMINAL. THIS ACCIDENT WAS CAUSED BY MY JEEP'S ELECTRICAL MALFUNCTION. I DO NOT CURRENTLY SEE A RECALL FOR ANYTHING BY VIN OR BY MAKE/MODEL. PLEASE ADDRESS THIS IMMEDIATELY AS I DO NOT WANT OTHERS TO BE EFFECTED AS I WAS AT THE FAULT OF JEEP. *DT*JB
