## Narrative
I was turning into some parking spots so i could put my car in reverse and park closer to building i needed.  I did not get a chance to putin reverse, the vehicle surged forward and was accelerating.  My foot was not on the gas pedal.  I was trying to brake.  I turned steering wheel so I didn't hit brick building. I swiped the building and 2 vehiles on my right AND still did not stop right away.  I kept on the brake and the plants, rocks, landscaping I think helped it to stop.  I can get police report in few days.
