On april 27, 2010, i was backing out of a parking space. i usually back out of a parking space very slowly so that i can stop at anytime. after i had cleared the parking space and before i could exchange gears, the car (2007 toyota camry) kept on reversing. i put my foot on the brake but the car did not stop. it stopped when it hit a van which was adjacent to a police car. luckily the police officer witnessed the entire accident. when the police officer approached my car he stated that "i thought you were going to hit me." i replied by saying "my car would not stop; i could stop the car." i informed the police officer that when i put my foot on the brake, the car continued to accelerate. the police report indicates that there was a problem with the acceleration. this statement is also want the mechanic said when he put the car in reverse to work on the car. *tr
