| Description of the problem | On sunday evening april 12 i was pulling into a parking space at the holiday inn in east brunswick nj. When i applied the break, my vehicle accelerated on its own. It jumped the curbing in front of the parking space, swiped the front of a parked vehicle and crashed into a stone birdbath in front of the hotel. Miraculously i escaped with a rather ugly bruise to my left forearm and to my right breast from seat belt pressure. My airbag did not open. I will send the police report in another email. It says i was attempting to park in a "handicapped" spot. I was not. I am not handicapped. It also says i "inadvertently" applied the gas instead of the break. I never told anyone that. I was fully awake, conscious and applied the break. I sent a data imaging authorization and consent form to [xxx]. I have to enter a plea by mail to careless driving charges by 5/18/15. I requested that holiday inn provide me with surveillance video but was told that they would "deal directly" with the insurance company. I was notified on april 27th that my vehicle has been deemed a total loss. I was notified on april 29th that the vehicle's "black box" (for lack of a better description at the moment) would be inspected on april 30th and i would received a report on may 4th. I have no idea as to where to go from here. I need help. Information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u. S. C. 552(b)(6). |
