## Narrative
I ran my car’s left front corner into a concrete pillar at about 5 MPH, put it in reverse and then the car engine sounded as if it was accelerating and it moved backward at a rapid pace.  I put my foot on the brake, no response, then put gear shifter into drive, no response, put shifter in neutral, no response, then rear left corner of my vehicle rammed into a concrete pillar/metal window frame.  I then turned the vehicle off, restarted and drove away.  I did not put my foot on accelerator to cause the rapid engine acceleration.
