| Description of the problem | Tl* may 3, 2019 2:34 p. M, contact was driving very slowly to make the turn into my assigned parking space, when all of a sudden, on its own, my car accelerated at great speed, forcefully pressing me against the seat back, flying over the stop curb at the front of my space, continuing across the gravel leeway before smashing part way through the cement block wall that surrounds our property. Demolished the front of my car as it punched a large hole in the cement block wall. Air bags deployed, causing deep bruising, swelling and abrasions on arms, legs and stomach. My left shoulder joint and upper back were wrenched enough that i am having to do physical therapy. Firemen and emt |
