I had to get off the next exit because I didn't want anyone to get in front of me because it went all the way up to 90 MPH.once I got off it still was accelerating so I drove up on the sidewalk to keep from hitting traffic at the light and got into the grass and it still was going fast and the brakes still not working I prayed and put it into neutral or I would have went right back into the traffic. …”
