NHTSA Complaint #11033294 — 2012 TOYOTA 4RUNNER

I WAS INVOLVED IN A CRASH. I CHECKED THE REAR VIEW MIRROR PREPARING TO BRAKE IN TRAFFIC. BEFORE MY EYES RETURNED TO THE FRONT I WAS CRASHING INTO THE BACK OF THE VEHICLE IN FRONT OF ME PUSHING HIM INTO THE CAR IN FRONT OF HIM ACCORDING TO THE DRIVER IN FRONT OF ME. I HAVE NO IDEA HOW I GOT SO CLOSE SO FAST I BELIEVE WHEN I WENT TO BREAK THE GAS PEDDLE WAS TOO CLOSE TO THE BRAKE PEDDLE ALSO ABOVE THE BRAKE PEDDLE. AT THE TIME OF THE CRASH I WAS IN SHOCK.AND I COULDN'T EXPLAIN WHAT HAPPENED. NOW I BELIEVE THE RIGHT SIDE OF MY RIGHT FOOT AS I WENT TO BREAK MY FOOT HIT THE GAS FIRST CAUSING MY CAR TO GO FORWARD AND CAUSED THE ACCIDENT I ONLY HAVE A SIZE 10 1/2 SHOE THIS HAPPENED ON A CITY ST. AN THE CAR WAS IN MOTION APPROX 25 MPH. THE RENTAL I WAS PROVIDED HAS THE BRAKE HIGHER THEN THE GAS AND A NORMAL DISTANCE FROM EACH OTHER. BEFORE THE CRASH MY SPACING WAS GOOD. I JUST GLANCED IN THE REAR VIEW MIRROR MY FOOT WAS OFF THE GAS I WAS PREPARING TO BREAK BECAUSE OF THE TRAFFIC IN FRONT BEFORE APPLYING THE BREAK IS WHEN I GLANCED INTO THE REAR VIEW MIRROR AND LIKE I SAID BEFORE MY EYES CAME BACK TO THE FRONT THE AIR BAG WENT OFF BECAUSE OF THE CRASH. I ALSO THOUGHT THE CAR IN FRONT MAY HAVE HAD HIS ABS GO OFF BECAUSE HE WAS TOO CLOSE TO THE CAR IN FRONT OF HIM.BUT I DO NOT TO POINT THE FINGER AT ANYONE IT ALL HAPPENED IN A MATTER OF SECONDS I NEVER EXPERIENCED SO FRIGHTENING EXCEPT FOR FLYING AS A GUNNER IN A UH1E IN THE WAR. AGAIN I DO NOT KNOW FOR CERTAIN BUT THE ABOVE IS THE ONLY WAY IT MUST HAVE HAPPENED. THE WEATHER WAS DRY AND CLEAR IS THERE ANY OTHER REPORTS OF OTHER PEOPLE FEELING THE GAS AN BREAK PEDDLE ARE TOO CLOSE OR IF THE BRAKE SHOULD BE SET HIGHER THAN THE GAS?
