DRIVING ON A RESIDENTIAL ROAD IN A 35 - 25 MPH ZONE. PROCEEDED TO BRAKE INTO A TURN TRAVELING AT APPROXIMATELY 15-20MPH AND CAME UPON A STOPPED TRUCK IN MY LANE. THE DRIVER OF THE TRUCK WAS LOADING A LADDER INTO HIS VEHICLE. I APPLIED MY BRAKE AND PROCEED TO ENTER THE OTHER LANE TO AVOID THE TRUCK. AS A ENTERED THE OTHER LANE MY POWER STEERING LIGHT CAME ON AND I HAD DIFFICULTY CONTROLLING THE CAR AND KEEPING IT IN THE OPPOSITE LANE OF TRAFFIC GOING STRAIGHT. AT THIS POINT I AM GOING ABOUT 3-5 MPH AND I AM TRYING TO FORCE THE WHEEL TO THE RIGHT. I WAS UNABLE TO KEEP THE CAR IN THE OPPOSITE LANE OF TRAFFIC AND I PROCEEDED TO HIT THE EMBANKMENT ON THE LEFT HAND SIDE OF THE ROAD TRAVELING AT A VERY LOW SPEED. FELT LIKE A SLOW MOTION CRASH. MY VEHICLE STRUCK THE EMBANKMENT ON THE LEFT HAND SIDE CAUSING MINOR DAMAGE TO THE EXTERIOR OF THE VEHICLE. THE IMPACT WAS SUCH THAT MY RADIATOR TO THE CAR WAS BENT AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. AFTER MY VEHICLE CAME TO A STOP THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT AND THE POWER STEERING LIGHT REMAINED ILLUMINATED. I WAS ABLE TO REVERSE THE VEHICLE AND DRIVE IT TO A SAFE LOCATION ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND CALL POLICE. I HAVE NOT SEEN EITHER OF THESE LIGHTS SINCE THE ACCIDENT AND MY CAR WAS FIXED. *TR
