I WAS PARKING IN A BETTENDORT, IOWA RESTAURANT PARKING LOT WHEN MY CAR SURGED FORWARD. I APPLIED THE BRAKES, BUT CAR WOULD NOT STOP. IT LEFT THE PARKING LOT, CROSSED A SIDEWALK AND WENT ONTO A STREET NEAR AN INTERSECTION. I KEPT APPLYING THE BRAKES, BUT CAR STILL WOULDN'T STOP. IT COLLIDED WITH AN ONCOMING CAR, CROSSED OVER A MEDIAN AND FINALLY STOPPED ON ANOTHER STREET ACROSS FROM THE INTERSECTION.
