## Narrative
My son was driving when the steering "locked" into one position which caused him to leave the interstate, cross the median, across oncoming traffic and roll the vehicle three times.  He suffered a lower back injury and his passenger only encountered minor cuts.  We were not aware of any issues at the time.  We did not have the vehicle inspected after the crash.  No warnings or prior warnings were displayed by the car.
