## Narrative
While driving on a major highway at approximately 65 mph, my car completely shut off.  The steering wheel froze, all the lights on the dashboard started blinking and the car's engine completely shut down.  The wheel locked as I was able to steer to the median.  I got out of the car and another car behind me immediately crashed into my stopped car, totaling it.
