Narrative

I was parking my car and there was a car that was car parked beside the place I pulling into to. I had backed up and when took my foot off the brake the car took off and struck the corner of the parked car. It literally took off. I had zero control of the car and it didn’t brake until after I hit the car. Where I was parking was on an incline that was going up. It happened again when I was pulling into another parking spot. I was not close enough to the curb and that car felt the same way. It felt like it was just going to take off. I just put it in park at that point. When I restarted it was fine.
