## Narrative
Road conditions were perfect - sunny, dry, nice weather.  I was pulling into a parking spot and when I applied the brakes, they FROZE.  I.e. the brake pedal DID NOT GO DOWN. (The mats were not an issue).  Then the car suddenly accelerated and went over an embankment. I was able to stop the vehicle using the emergency brake.
