What if the power steering and brakes are locked up on your astro van after falling in a ditch what do you need to do?

Astro's Power Steering and power brakes run off the same hydraulic system. The hydraulic pump was probably damaged when you "fell" into the ditch. A hard turn can cause damage. Both systems go out at the same time. Steering and braking are not impossible without the hydraulics, but extremely difficult. Safest bet would be a tow to the mechanic who will probably replace the pump. $400 - $500.
