## Narrative
On [XXX]. My car went into unintended acceleration at full throttle of 8000 RPMs.  The engine was stuck at maximum power and would not slow down. My car slide until it hit a curb and was forced to stop. However, the engine was still running at full maximum capacity at full unintended acceleration.   My [XXX]  son had to go to ER and it almost cost the lives of 4 other people.   I am very scared to ever drive this car as it is now a threat to safety for everyone driving near this car.   Please report this to the BMW NA manufacturer since they have their engineering looking at the vehicle.  Please call me with a resolution at [XXX]  INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)
