Better Cornering?

I fiond that whenever I am on my hybrid (2012 Redline DS1) and am going over 20-25 miles per hour, it is extremely hard to make a 90 degree turn onto another road. I don't want to lose all of my momentum by breaking, so usually I don't and just end up crashing... (I should probably start using the break.) But I corner just as I would on a road bike (inside foot at 12 oclock, weight outwards, lean inwards) but I feel much less control. Does anyone have any pointers on how I can corner better and maintain my speed?
