## Narrative
On [XXX] as I was going in reverse the car started to accelerate out of control, I pumped the breaks and it increased speed, I then tried to power down truck and that did not work.  My vehicle ended up going in ditch backwards and I hit a mailbox and ditch.  Earlier in the week when I went to go from reverse to forward it felt like it was locked and then it would engage.   I do not feel this is safe and will not ride the vehicle as I think there is something wrong mechanically with the truck.    Police report will be uploaded in 1-2 days.
