My dad has died from injuries sustained from a car accident, he told me his car 2006 honda civic accelerated on its own! The car accelerated at high RPM when he just went to accelerate. To enter the road making a left, instead the car went so fast within seconds, he lost control and his honda plowed threw a stop sign, then was finally stopped by a steel pole holding up a quick check sign! He sustained extensive chest injuries! 3 broken ribs, 2 dropped lungs, fractured sternum, fractured c4 and c7 spine injuries!
