Consumer Description

I WAS IN THE DRIVE THROUGH AT THE DUNKIN DONUTS IN GERMANTOWN, MD GIVING MY ORDER IN THE SPEAKER. I REMEMBER HEARING A ROARING SOUND LIKE A TRAIN AND THE NEXT THING I KNOW ALL OF A SUDDEN MY CAR SHOT FORWARD AND HIT THE BACK OF THE CAR AT THE SERVICE WINDOW. IT WAS QUITE STRANGE. I AM CONVINCED I HAD MY FOOT ON THE BRAKE. THE EMS AND POLICE SAID I MUST HAVE HIT THE ACCELERATOR BY MISTAKE. I AM NOT CONVINCED IN MY OWN MIND THAT THIS IS WHAT HAPPENED. *TR
