| Description of the problem | I had pulled into my company parking lot and was backing into my parking space. I pulled forward, applied the brake to shift into reverse. As soon as i took my foot off the brake pedal, the car zoomed backward. I jumped a curb, went through very thick bushes and landed on top of a small audi parked in the lot behind ours. I had to turn off the car to stop the engine. I was too in shock to take photos but others did and i can add later, with the police report when it's completed, if that's possible. I have no idea how fast the car was going. Much too fast to be backing into a parking space. Auto body shop across the street helped to disengage the cars. No towing nec. |
