“She pulled into a patients driveway and stopped she went to put it in park and the car just took off into the house. She (the driver) had to be taken to the er. She had her foot on the brake still when the car took off. I have pictures of how the right front tire was dragged through the dirt while brake was applied. It damaged the home and did over 5000.00 damage to the car. She insists it accelerated unexpectedly.”
