“Sudden acceleration. I was driving it on us-101 westbound before kanan road exit (~4 miles before destination exit), slowed down and changed one lane to most right lane. The car suddenly accelerated out of control. I applied the brakes immediately. The car turned to the left, made a spin counterclockwise and traveled from most of the right lane to most of the left lane. Finally, I got it stopped in the left lane, after its rear hit the freeway center divider. It was in the opposite traffic direction. Fortunately, no other vehicle was hit. …”
