Consumer Description

I WAS INVOLVED IN AN AUTO ACCIDENT. THE FRONT DRIVER SIDE QUARTER PANEL WAS HIT. NO AIRBAGS DEPLOYED IN EITHER CAR. IMMEDIATELY UPON THE COLLISION, I TRIED TO STOP THE CAR, BUT IT ACCELERATED ON IT'S OWN. THE CAR WOULD NOT STOP. I MADE A SPLIT DECISION TO PULL INTO A PARKING LOT AND THEN CONTEMPLATED DRIVING THE CAR INTO A TREE TO STOP IT. I THEN DECIDED TO DRIVE OVER A CURBED DIVIDER THAT HAD A 3 FOOT HEDGE. I GOT THE CAR TO STOP 8 FEET AFTER RUNNING OVER THE HEDGE. I HAVE NO IDEA WHAT HAPPENED, BUT DID HAVE A CLEAR THOUGHT PROCESS TO GET THE CAR TO STOP. I OPTED TO RUN OVER A 3 FOOT BOX HEDGE INSTEAD OF INTO A TREE. I HAVE NO CLUE WHY THE CAR ACCELERATED THE WAY IT DID. THE CAR IS NOW CONSIDERED A "TOTAL LOSS".
