AT APPROXIMATELY 2:00 PM ON JAN. 5, 2020, I WAS DRIVING MY 2006 LEXUS LS 430 IN A RESIDENTIAL AREA IN BETHESDA, MD. I DECIDED TO TURN AROUND. I TURNED RIGHT INTO A DRIVEWAY (AT A LOW SPEED) WITH THE BRAKE PEDAL APPLIED. SUDDENLY, AND WITHOUT WARNING, THE CAR ACCELERATED WILDLY, MAKING A GREAT DEAL OF ENGINE NOISE, AS THE THROTTLE APPEARED TO BE WIDE OPEN. THANKFULLY I HIT A NEAR-BY TREE AND TWO FRONT AIR BAGS DEPLOYED. A HOMEOWNER CALLED THE POLICE, AND AN AMBULANCE TOOK ME TO THE EMERGENCY ROOM AT A NEARBY HOSPITAL. IF THIS SUDDEN ACCELERATION HAD OCCURRED ON A HIGHWAY, I AM CERTAIN THAT LIVES WOULD HAVE BEEN LOST.
