    At 40 mph the 4 wheel antilock brakes on my 2005 ford mustang locked up when i was attempting to stop at a stop light, causing my car to hydroplane into the back of a dodge pickup. The engine in my car was driven back into the fire wall upon impact; however, my air bag system failed resulting in more serious injuries to me. *nm
