From the driver's statement to the police on the day of the accident (from the police report): I was trying to park my car there were some cars in front and back but there was a lot of space. All of a sudden my car jumped and rushed and suddenly go fast. It went forward at a fast speed. I didn't see anyone else because I was trying to keep the car in the street and [not] going into any other cars. I had crossed the street down, I don't know what cross street. At the cross street my car hit another car.?
