ON WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 19, 2014 MY SON LEFT FOR WORK AT HIS USUAL TIME AND STARTED THE SUBARU. IMMEDIATELY, THE ENGINE ROARED AT FULL THROTTLE, AND THE VEHICLE TOOK OFF DOWN THE STREET, WHERE IT JUMPED THE CURB AND CRASHED INTO A TREE AT 45 MPH. DISTANCE TRAVELED WAS LESS THAN 400 FEET FROM WHERE IT STARTED. BASED ON AN EYEWITNESS ACCOUNT, IT IS PRESUMED THAT THE VEHICLE SUFFERED AN UNINTENDED ACCELERATION MECHANICAL ISSUE OUTSIDE OF THE DRIVER'S CONTROL. EMERGENCY SERVICE PERSONNEL ARRIVED WITHIN MINUTES, AND HE WAS TAKEN TO THE MAJOR METRO-AREA 833 BED HOSPITAL (LEVEL 1 TRAUMA CENTER) WHERE HE WAS ADMITTED TO CRITICAL CARE. HE DIED PEACEFULLY AND WITHOUT PAIN ON WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON, NOVEMBER 26, 2014, AT AGE 37. SUBARU OF AMERICA WAS NOTIFIED OF THIS INCIDENT ON FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 21, 2014; A DETAILED DESCRIPTION, POLICE CRASH REPORT, AND 18 PICTURES WERE PROVIDED, WITH A REQUEST FOR THEM TO INSPECT THE TOTALED VEHICLE AND DOWNLOAD AVAILABLE INFORMATION FROM THE BLACK BOX RECORDER/EVENT DATA RECORDER. (NOTE: AS OF TODAY, NOVEMBER 29, 2014 NO ACTION HAS BEEN TAKEN).
