| Description of the problem | I own a 2007 toyota camry and was involved in an auto accident today. A pickup truck broadsided me. As soon as the truck hit me i hit the brakes. The camry did not stop and instead quickly accelerated and fish tailed out of control. I finally gained control of the steering but ended up three lanes across from where i was hit and into a gas station having to drive between the gas pumps hoping to avoid an explosion. I hit a parked car at the pump and kept going about 5 to 10 more feet and the car finally just stopped like nothing happen. I could have died today! It felt like i was driving on ice or like someone floored the gas pedal. I had no control of the car. I do know for certainty i had my foot on the brake the entire time all this was happening. |
