## Narrative
My  2018 Toyota Prius Supreme was parked too far away from the curb in front of a house where we were invited, in a residential area in Naperville IL.  I entered the car to park it properly.  I had my foot on the brakes and pressed the starting button for the engine to turn on.  I then put the car on reverse and suddently the car accelerated uncontollably.  Went on the grass, hit the neighbor's mailbox and stopped by crashing on a tree.  I was in shock but luckily not injured.  Other guests were present and witnessed the incident.  Police was called in and issued a report.  The car was declared by Progressive Insurance Co as a total loss.
