Better Safe Than Sorry

You are driving a car at \(90\text{ km/h}\). Suddenly, you see a large sinkhole \(200\text{ m}\) ahead on road. You quickly brake at the time you see the sinkhole with a constant deceleration of \(1.25\text{ m/s}^2\). What will happen to your car?
Assume the sinkhole is really big, so the car doesn't fly over it.
