Code coming up C1032 ABS system issue, guess it’s been plaguing Harley for a long time lots of people are reporting it online. Needs to get fixed

On August 16 around 7:00 pm I was riding my motorcycle on Emmett road. I went down one of the slops and there was a corner coming up so I tried to break with my front brake and it had no pressure, I contentiously squeezed the front brake but it wasn't gaining enough pressure to activate the brakes. I then tried to use my rear brake and it had pressure but it didn't work correctly and failed as well. I dropped a few gears to try and slow down with the engine rmps but bu that time it was to late and I hit the gravel on the side of the road so I wouldn't crash on the pavement and risk getting even more injured. I was rushed to the hospital and later that week retrieved my bike from the towing company.
