While driving at 45 mph, your shoe heel became stuck in the front driver's seat recline lever, preventing you from braking. This caused a crash with another vehicle that resulted in two injuries and total vehicle loss. The seat recline mechanism may need to be inspected or replaced to prevent the lever from catching footwear.
