As i began to back my bosses car out of the driveway, i looked out of my left mirror to follow the curve of the driveway in order to direct me. i didn't see anything behind me, so i proceeded to continue down the driveway, and then i felt a bump. then i saw in the camera that i must have hit a van in that was parked in the driveway. the back doors of the van were open. then i decided that i needed to put the car in drive and park my car so i could get out and make sure i didn't hurt anyone. as i put the vehicle in drive, it made a loud winding noise and lurched forward. it then proceeded to accelerate and pick up speed in the driveway. as i became parallel with the other vehicle parked in the owners driveway, the vehicle i was driving was still picking up speed so i put the car in park and put on the brakes so i could stop the vehicle, although within seconds i was crashing through the back yard fence. the vehicle proceeded to pick up speed. i was putting a lot of pressure on the brakes but it was not making any difference. i thought of swerving the vehicle to the left, but i was afraid of there being children in the other yard so i quickly made the decision to hit the tree so i could spare any possible lives and stop the vehicle completely. as soon as i realized i crashed the vehicle into the tree, i immediately got out so i could see what happened. i kept repeating to myself 'why didn't it stop?' i could not understand after doing everything in my mind to stop the car, that nothing was successful. i did what i thought was the best decision as much as i could within those chaotic moments. i just wanted to stop the car and not harm in people in the process. i hit the tree at with enough velocity that the air bag deployed and i broke my leg in 3 places. thanks [xxx] information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).' *pm
