## Narrative
This is a sudden unintended acceleration accident. I was driving into a hotel parking lot. I turned right at less than 5 mph for about 15 feet and then made another right.  Suddenly, the car accelerated at very high speed.  I was able to steer but can't stop the car until 200 yards after I made a turn into the bushes and knock down a tree.  At about 50 yards the vehicle also banged into three parked cards.
