While driving at 25 to 30 mph on icy roads uphill the vehicle suddenly accelerated unexpectadly. The accelerator pedal went to the floor by itself. I stomped the pedal but it would not decelerate.

No recovery was possible and a accident involving the truck rolling over occured. Thankfully I was the only person involved or hurt.
