The gas pedal got stuck and while trying to put the car into neutral, the car went into reverse which caused the car to rollover.
The proportioning valve failed "closed" and did not allow for the brake fluid to go to the rear brakes, as a result the rear brakes failed resulting in the front tires locking up and skidded causing collision. *mjs
