Consumer Description

I WAS BACKING OUT OF MY GARAGE. MY SON HAD HIS CAR PARKED BEHIND ME. I SAW THAT I WAS GOING TO HAVE TO PULL UP TO GET AROUND THE PARKED CAR. I PUT MY FOOT ON THE BRAKE, I THEN PUT THE CAR IN DRIVE. TOOK MY FOOT OFF THE GAS AND IT TOOK OFF AT ROCKET SPEED. I WASN'T COMPLETELY OUT OF MY GARAGE. THE CAR WAS GOING SO FAST AND I COULDN'T STOP IT. I WAS 6 FT FROM THE BRICK WALL. I WAS GOING SO FAST THAT I WENT THROUGH THE BRICK WALL AND IT DIDN'T EVEN SLOW DOWN. IT KEPT GOING TOOK OUT A CHAIN LINK FENCE. THEN CAME TO A STOP AND DIED. WHAT STOPPED ME WAS ALL THE BRICK AND FENCE THAT WAS UNDER THE CAR. IF IT HAD NOT STOPPED IT WOULD HAVE KILLED ME. THIS HAPPENED AT MY HOME. THERE WAS NO POLICE REPORT.
