The car rushed like an arrow that almost hit a pedestrian

The steering wheel was locked, causing the car to almost hit people on the sidewalk

At an intersection in Surat, Gujarat state, the SUV slowly turned right and then suddenly accelerated, swerving to the opposite side of the road. At the same time, three men were standing to buy ice cream, narrowly avoiding disaster.

After hitting the pole, the car overturned. People around rushed to help the two men in the car get out. These two suffered minor injuries.

According to the driver, the steering wheel was suddenly locked, causing the car to lose control, leading to an accident. However, it is not excluded that the driver mistakenly stepped on the accelerator, because the car did not show signs of braking.

In fact, although it is very rare, there are cases where cars are locked or lost power steering while running, not only Lock the steering wheel while it’s parked. Some causes include a problem with the power steering pump system (power steering fluid leak or stuck pump), or a problem with the steering column or suspension. A malfunctioning ignition switch system can also cause the steering wheel to lock. And drivers’ habits, such as often driving too quickly, can also lead to this situation.

For pedestrians, do not stand in the roadway, because accidents can occur and hinder the movement of vehicles.
