A D V E R T I S E M E N T S

On May 25th, 2020 I was pulling into a taco bell drive through. It was located up a little hill. As I drove up the hill I hit a little curbing. I backed up and adjusted the car to miss the curb. When I put the car into drive it lurched forward at a high speed. Seeing I was going to hit the car in front, I hit my brakes. The car did not stop until I had hit the car in front with a lot of force. That car was thrown into the truck in front of it. That was the beginning of a huge scare! I put the car in reverse so I could observe the damage to my car the car in front of me. When I did so the car accelerate at full speed in reverse going back down the hill and headed straight for a drugstore. The car was making a whiring sound, like when you rev up the engine. I pushed the brakes to the floor but the car would not stop but keep going faster! I pumped the brakes some more but it would not stop. When I saw I was headed into the store, I turned the wheels to avoid it and tried braking again without stopping. I finally hit the stop engine button but not before the car hit a parked truck in the store lot which stopped it. It was the most frightening experience I have ever had. I am now afraid to get into a car. I was too upset to take photos. I will list the crash report in the file below.
