## Narrative
On June 16, 2021 I exited a parking lot and joined a line of traffic that was stopped for a stoplight. Traffic began to move and as I stepped on the accelerator the engine started ROARING and the car accelerated uncontrollably across the opposite lane and into a utility pole.  It was totaled and I was left badly bruised by the airbag explosion;  I have also found I have strange noises in my ears and am seeing an otolaryngologist for that.  The car has ben disposed of and I don't know where it  is.  I am fortunate that there was no oncoming traffic, no one was on the sidewalk and I was the sole occupant of the vehicle.  The only one who may have inspected the car was the insurance adjuster.  There was no warning of any kind and I had never experienced this before.
