Unhappy Car Turning off ABS/BRAKE??? Please Help

My girlfriends 2000 avalon is turning off while turning, the car shuts off and the abs and brake light turn off...the car recently ran over a log while on the freeway. Is it possible the abs sensor got damaged? Causing the car to turn off while making turns? please help!!!

Step 1. Check the brake fluid.

Just to be clear, the "Brake" warning light comes on when going around a corner?
The engine shut's off while going around a corner?
Both right and left corners? If going really slow around the corner, same problem?
Sorry for no answer, just more details required.

Sounds like the lights are only on because the car shut off, but the ignition is still on?

I would have a shop put it up in the air to look for possible body damage from running over the log. Sounds like its shutting off on turns because the wheels are hitting something on sharp turns.
