February 2007 CrashInjury

On the morning of november 20, 2010, I was pulling in to a parking space at the local library, approximately 10 minutes from my home. As I was making the turn to pull into the parking space, I heard the engine rev, and the car accelerated as though the cruise control had "kicked in" and my brake would not stop the car. Rather than hit a car that was parked in front of my parking space, I turned the vehicle to go up a curb and hit a tree.
