## Narrative
On Friday 2/18/2022 I was pulling into a parking space with my 2010 Honda Ridgeline.  When applying the brake, the vehicle suddenly accelerated unintentionally and hit the car in the opposing parking space.  I stood on the brake harder when I sensed the vehicle lurching forward.  After I struck the opposing car, I confirmed that my foot was on the brake and not touching the accelerator.  Also, oddly the vehicle immediately stopped running and I noticed the car was in Reverse.  I took pictures and video immediately after the incident both inside the car and outside before I touched anything.  I then put the car in Park, started the car, and backed it up.  I inspected both cars for damage and did not find any damage.  I left a note for the other car.  The owner later called and confirmed she did not find any damage.  One interesting thing that I noticed is that the parking space had a sewer drain in the front left corner that had a large slope and snow/ice surrounding it.  The unintended acceleration occurred right when the front left tire hit that sloping ice patch.
