As i was driving along the road, two miles from my house in a residential area. the car suddenly and drastically began to accelerate. i remember vividly pressing the brake pedal multiple times but it failed to decelerate the car at all. afraid as i was, i ceased to step on the brake or the gas pedal, the car continued accelerating and kept gaining momentum. at that point, i was trying to avoid hitting the cars in front and incoming cars from the other direction of the road. i drove for about a half mile on and off the right side curbside, as clipping mailboxes along the way. at that point i realized that i would not be able to stop, decelerate, nor control the car. in attempt the avoid driving into the main road that led into a busy four-way intersection, i panicked and removed my seat belt in attempt to evacuate the car. the car door, however would not open. i was in complete shock and alarmed as the car continued to accelerate and as it drove into a head-on collision with a tree. following the severe impact, i entirely lost consciousness. following the accident i spent 10 hours in the operation room, and i had to stay for care in the hospital and skill facility for two and half months. from the accident my arm was injured and after 8 months, and it still immobile. i'm still going through series of physical therapy on a weekly basis. updated ivoq 09/14/11 *tr
