| Description of the problem | I was traveling alone on errands and had stopped at a t-intersection, positioned at the top of the "t" and preparing to turn right. I'd let afew cars go past, traveling on the main street with traffic closest to me going from left to right. When those cars had passed and it was safe to turn right onto the main street, i started to slowly depress the gas pedal to accelerate. Suddenly the car bolted forward and out of control, accelerating directly across the street and into the path of oncoming traffic traveling right to left. A car going about 40 mph slammed into the right front passenger side of my car. The airbags deployed and both our cars came to a complete stop. I was dazed from the collision and exited my car from the driver's side as soon as possible. I could see that the whole front of my car, including the engine was completely demolished. I was in shock and a lady from a nearby house who had heard the crash came out with a chair for me to sit me down on while the police and paramedics were on the way. I never went to the passenger side of the car and don't know the condition of the other driver or their car. I was taken to the emergency room and suffered chest, neck and back pain. I am quite sure it was the gas pedal sticking that caused the car to accelerate so unexpectedly and quickly, propelling me through the cross-traffic and onto the other side of the street. It was an absolutely horrible accident and i am still in shock over it, not to mention not knowing the condition, extent of injuries or even the identity of the other driver as yet. |
