As we sped up carter street on our way home we head up a steep hill while me and melody were yelling about a friend when mom yelled, “Girls please stop yelling im trying to focus on my driving all of a sudden my mom lost all control of the car and the brakes suddenly stopped working just as we were heading down the hill.
