Was leaving freeway and went to hit the brakes and had no traction. Had smelled a liquid, which in retrospect seems to have been coolant. Missed hitting other vehicles, but the car was in a single car accident - vehicle damage was excessive and the car is not repairable. I was seriously injured with multiple broken bones, facial lacerations, bruises, etc. Originally thought that the brakes had failed, but loss of traction would duplicate the event - basically smelled coolant.
