## Narrative
I was coasting into a parking space (at 6.8 mph) and as I attempted to park, the car suddenly accelerated and went up and over the concrete rectangle park stop and smashed into a brick building (12.4 mph) and went back over the park stop before the engine in the vehicle finally died.  During the acceleration, I was trying to brake the car, but the car wouldn’t stop.  I was yelling to my husband that the car wouldn’t stop.  The driver airbags deployed as well as the knee air bag.  The passenger airbags did not deploy as there was not a passenger in the front seat.  The car had 4258 miles and was totaled. My husband and I both sustained injuries. According to the Toyota app, the vehicle had a “0” rating for fast acceleration and a “1” rating for harsh braking during this particular trip.   I contacted Toyota and an investigation was conducted using Bosch Crash Data Retrieval Tool 23.2.1.  The data shows a 5 second timeframe with .50 second intervals.  The vehicle speed at the 5 second mark was 6.8mph with 0% accelerator pedal. At 2 seconds, the speed was 5.0mph with 8.5% accelerator pedal.  And, at the crash point the vehicle speed was 12.4mph with 100% accelerator pedal.   Toyota product liability contacted me with their report stating that there was no brake pedal application prior to the impact and that pressure was applied to the accelerator pedal at wide open throttle seconds prior to the impact, and they found no obstructions or interference with the operation
