I OWNED A 2004 MUSTANG, MACH I PKG, WITH A SHAKERHOOD/COBRA JET, POLICE INTERCEPTOR/ 5 SPEED: $40,000.00 VEHICLE. IT HYDROPLANED DURING A RAIN STORM HERE IN GEORGIA ON THE ABOVE DATE. IT CAUSED ME TO GO DOWN A 26 FOOT RAVEEN AND I HIT A SEWER CAUSING MY VEHICLE TO GO INTO A VERTICAL POSITION STRIKING A TREE. SEAT BELTS WERE WORN. I WAS NOT SPEEDING; THIS HAS BEEN PROVEN BY THE TOWING COMPANY. WHEN AIR BORN IF YOU TURN THE KEY THE LAST MPH WILL APPEAR. IT SHOWED 30MPH. BESIDES, I WAS IN 2ND OR 3RD GEAR WHICH RUNS MAX AT 30MPH/SPEED LIMIT POSTED 35MPH FOR THAT AREA. I REMEMBER THE (R) REAR OF MY VEHICLE SLIP/SWING TO THE (R) CAUSING ME TO GO OFF THE ROAD AND DOWN THIS RAVEEN. IT WAS TOTALED. I NOW SUFFER FROM MANY INJURIES; YET, THE MOST SERIOUS INJURY IS A BRAIN INJURY. MY BRAIN HAS SEPARATED FROM MY FRONTAL LOBE. I SPOKE TO MANY MUSTANG OWNERS AND THIS IS NOT THE FIRST TIME THAT A MUSTANG OWNER HAS ENCOUNTERED HYDROPLANING AND BECOMING INVOLVED IN A SEVERE TRAFFIC ACCIDENT. I HAD MY TRACTION BUTTON ENGAGED AND STILL WHEN HITTING WET GRASS IT MADE NO DIFFERENCE. I'M COMPLAINING AND CONCERNED. I INTEND TO TAKE THIS TO THE TOP IF NEEDED. *TR
