While driving uphill approximately 5 mph and making a right turn into a driveway the vehicle began accelerating over 80 mph and within seconds the vehicle went airborne over a retaining wall and into someone's yard.

The insurance company investigated the crash and concluded that the floor mat caused the failure to occur since it was not hooked to the mat. The insurance company also determined that the vehicle was destroyed; however, she sold the vehicle to the salvage yard.
