## Narrative
I was driving toward the perimeter of my neighborhood, approaching an arterial cross street.  When I braked the pedal went straight to the floor.  The breaks didn’t work despite pumping them multiple times. I also heard the engine revving.  To avoid the intersection and busy street I steered into a yard, hit a retaining wall and a tree, rolled and hit a metal city street sign.  All airbags deployed.  I was taken to the hospital by ambulance.  The car was totaled and is on a temporary hold at a salvage yard.
