At 7:15am in a public parking lot of a strip mall setup, I approached a parking place but first letting an employee of panera bread cross in front of me before I approached the space. Upon approaching I was gliding in using the brake to slow me when all at once the engine reved while my foot was on the brake accelerating me and the vehichle into a tree 8 feet past the parking space, deploying the air bag and bouncing me back around 16 feet.
