“Vehicle began to accelerate down a steep hill and no matter what I tried to do to stop the vehicle nothing happened. It just kept accelerating. Lost control of vehicle, and was unable to negotiate the right hand turn. Vehicle slammed into a dirt embankment, then rolled over and reversed it's position. Consequently, I was trapped in a running vehicle with gasoline leaking and unable to shut off the engine. Had to wait 30n minutes for ems/fire rescue to arrive. Extrication took another 25-30 minutes. Transported to trauma center, york, pa.”

The RPM went up in my 2004 Tundra and the truck started to move forward. I pushed harder on the brake but it did not stop. It connected with the bumper of the car in front and started to push it. I put the truck in neutral and turned the ignition off. The truck stopped then. The damage was only a scratched bumper.”

I turned the ignition off and tried to navigate a left turn at 70+ MPH. With the rear end hopping somehow I negotiated the turn but could not turn again. I crossed the next street and ended up going thru the wall of an apartment building and stopped in the middle of the living room. It was only god's design for me not to die this day.
