| Description of the problem | Unintended acceleration occurred when proceeding through and intersection at about 4:50 pm 01/04/2011. Brakes were applied but the power of the toyota tunda sr5 v8 engine had enough power to accelerate unintended to approximately 50 mph even tho the brakes were applied as had hard as it could be applied.

Only the driver was in the truck and no other vehicles at the time of the incident. The driver suffered a broken left arm at the elbow which required surgery. *ln |
