| I was applying the brake due to stopped traffic ahead of my car. as i did so, the car accelerated rather than slowed down. my car contacted the left rear of the car in front of mine, and as i tried to straighten out the car, it again accelerated. veered to the right, and struck the stone wall of the bridge on the shoulder of the highway. according to the police report, there was a malfunction with the throttle mechanism. officers witnessed, when starting the vehicle, the rpm indicator quickly rise to approximately 5,000/5,500 without any pressure applied on the gas pedal. the floor area did not exhibit items, including the floor mat, which would potentially be the cause. *tr | |||
