I AM THE OWNER OF A 1999 FORD MUSTANG, WITH A MANUAL TRANSMISSION, PURCHASED IN 2004. LAST WEEK, I PARKED MY CAR ON A LOCAL STREET, AT A METER AND WENT INTO CHURCH. WHILE IN CHURCH, THE EMERGENCY BRAKE ON MY CAR FAILED, AND MY CAR ROLLED BACKWARDS, A BLOCK AND A HALF THROUGH AN INTERSECTION AND WAS HIT BY A CITY BUS, BEFORE LANDING AGAINST A TREE. THE POLICE TOWED MY CAR AWAY.

THE EMERGENCY BRAKE HAS NOT BEEN REPLACED. *NM
