Narrative

Brakes failed to stop truck from bumper to bumper accident, I would've stopped in time but the brakes felt like it was sliding, it wasn't not stopping the truck. I had to quickly release the brake and try again but still manage to hit the truck in front of me. I noticed when I'm drive all day (especially in the heat) by the end of the day when I am using the brake, it takes longer to brake than it did earlier in the day. I assuming the brakes are overheating. Of course I am at fault for the bumper to bumper accident, claim number 31-22T8-87X with State Farm.
