Description of the problem | Car gas pedal was stuck and continued to accelerate getting up to 58 mph after pressing on brakes lightly the car continued to go faster and faster. As i was getting closer to an intersection, that was red, and in fear of getting hit cause the gas would not slow down i slammed on brakes and hoped it would stop the car but the car lost control hit a curb and hit a fire hydrant in the front middle of car, the car flipped over and no airbags deployed. The vehicle was in motion prior to accident and it was on a highway then i turned on a side street going 58 mph due to gas pedal being stuck, i then lost control of car after hitting brakes to make the car slow down. Me and my friend have headache and are sore, i went to immediate car due to concussion symptoms. I am now terrified to drive or get into car, i become hysterical and can't stop crying. My friend is also not getting cars either. Scariest thing ever. |
