2009 Mitsubishi Eclipse HatchbackBrakesCrash

Decemebr 23, 2018 I was involved in an accident on a freeway, where all the traffic suddenly came to a stop from 50 mph. As I pressed my breaks it was as though they almost didn't work causing me to strike the vehicle in front of me. The abs light then became lit, all air bags were deployed and the car was determined totaled by my insurance company and I was not at fault.
