Hello, I was driving behind a group of cars that unexpectedly slowed, then stopped. I braked, but while I was braking the car unintentionally lunged forward and hit the car in front of me. i know my foot was on the brake because the car initially slowed. My car was totaled and I was injured. The other driver was not injured.
