Intermittently when accelerating vehicle will stall and die without warning.*ak

Backed into a light pole in a parkinglot. engine started to "rev" while still in reverse. with my foot still on the brake, i shifted from reverse to drive. at that time, the car accelerated forward at a high rate of speed, hitting a car and going through a storefront wall. i had my foot on the brake the entire time (pictures show the tire marks the entire way). wheels continued to accelerate after car was stopped by debri, burning holes in the carpet of the store. hard to say what the cause was at this time. lawyer refers to it as "sudden acceleration syndrome" but this was related to hitting the pole. *ak
