Description of the problem | On june10th. I had a majoir accident in which both my wife & myself suffered fractured sternums & fractured ribs. What happened was that i pulled into a lot in princeton, n. J. & after stopping to set my gps, i just tapped the accelerator & the car shot forward, as if shot out of a cannon. While stopped i put the car in reverse & the car shot backwards in the same manner, thereby striking a wall. Now i went forward like a rocket, with no time to hit the brake, thereby going headfirst into a parked construction truck. |
