I had 95 Geo Metro, the day I wrecked it was raining. I was coming upon a curve, and I hit my brakes. It had anti lock brakes. They locked up, and the car started spinning around. I couldn't get control of the vehicle, and the car had turned on its top in a covert. My 15 year old daughter was in with me, and neither air bag had came out like it was suppose to. The whole front grill came to rest across the road from where the car was. I lost the use of the vehicle, because it could not be fixed. The top was pushed in, the windshield was cracked, and the front grill was off. The rear passenger tire is pushed toward the rear passenger door. The law had came out, and I don't know if he filed a report. He had asked if I was going to report it to the insurance company, and I replied no. There were no other vehicles involved, and as for us we seemed alright just bruised and sore all over. I can't remember the exact date, but it is close to it.
