I AM EMAILING YOU TO BOTH ALERT YOU OF A SITUATION AND ASK THAT YOU REACH OUT TO MY FATHER REGARDING WHAT HAPPENED TO HIM THIS MORNING. HE OWNS A 2016 OR 2017 F-150 WITH THE 3.5 ECO-BOOST. THIS MORNING AS HE WAS DRIVING BETWEEN 50 ' 60 MPH SOUTH ON HWY 111 IN COMING INTO LIVINGSTON TN. HE LET OF THE GAS PREPARING TO VEER RIGHT ON THE 111 BYPASS, HIS BRAKE WARNING LIGHT CAME ON AND WHEN HE ATTEMPTED TO APPLY THE BRAKES HIS FOOT WENT TO THE FLOOR AND THE WAS ABSOLUTELY ZERO THERE FOR HIM TO STOP THE TRUCK. LUCKILY THIS HAPPENED ABOUT 6 AM AND THERE WAS NO ONE ON THE ROAD AND IT WAS IN A PLACE THAT HE HAD ROOM AND TIME TO SHIFT DOWN AND DECREASE HIS SPEED AND PULL OVER. ONE MILE FURTHER AND THIS COULD HAVE HAD A VERY DIFFERENT ENDING. HE WAS ON HIS WAY TO PICK UP A BOAT.. SO THIS WAS THREE HOURS LATER THIS COULD HAVE HAD AN EXTREMELY DIFFERENT ENDING. DID I MENTION HE 81 YEARS OLD. THERE WAS LITTLE TO NO WARNING, THE LIGHT CAME ON JUST AS HE WAS GETTING READY TO MAKE HIS TURN. THIS COULD HAVE TURNED OUT VERY BAD.
