## Narrative
As I was (very slowly) pulling into a parking place at a park near my home and I was braking to come to a full stop, the car suddenly lurched forward, jumped the parking place barrier, and hit a tree.  The front end of the car was badly damaged and the airbag opened.   I sustained injuries to my left hand and my chest, though nothing was broken.  The car was towed to a body shop, where it has been declared not reparable.  Photos of the car at the scene are attached. This accident seems to be consistent with reports/recalls of the Hyundai Elantra  of  unintended acceleration when releasing the brake. We did talk to police shortly after the accident but we are unsure if they filed a report.
