Description of the problem	I was turning right at an intersection when a woman walking her dog began crossing the street. I slammed on the brakes to avoid her and the car suddenly accelerated soundlessly forward (car is hybrid but pressing accidentally on the gas pedal with force would have caused revving noise) and i could not control it.. I ran over the woman's foot and also her dogs feet. I drove the car up over a curb which resulting in a flat tire to get the car to stop. There was no injury to the car or myself. The woman was taken to the hospital but had no broken bones. The dog had bruising and discomfort but no serious injuries either. Took the car to a toyota dealership and they could find no alerts, warnings, or anything wrong with it that could have caused it to accelerate unintentionally.
