ON 2/22/05 AT 8:20 AM I WAS DROPPING MY GRANDSON OFF AT SCHOOL. I HAD PARKED THE VEHICLE TO SEE RATHER OR NOT HE HAD GONE INTO THE SCHOOL. WHEN I RETURNED TO THE TRUCK I HAD STARTED IT UP AND PUT INTO REVERSE LOOKED BEHIND ME AND WHILE BACKING UP TO NOTICE THAT THERE WAS ANOTHER CAR COMING SO I TRIED TO STOP BACKING WHEN I HAD DISCOVERED THAT THE TRUCK WOULD NOT STOP BECAUSE THE GAS PEDAL WAS STUCK TO THE FLOOR THE ENGINE WAS REVVING LOUDLY AND THE TRUCK WAS GOING BACKWARDS OUT OF MY CONTROL. AT THAT POINT I HAD NOTICED THAT THERE WERE CHILDREN AND MOTHERS ALL AROUND IN MY PATH I HAD NO CHOICE BUT TO TURN THE TRUCK TO HIT ANOTHER CAR TO STOP ME. BEFORE I DECIDED TO TAKE SUCH MEASURES I HAD TRIED TO BREAK TO STOP THE TRUCK. THE GAS PEDDLE WAS STUCK I HAD EVEN TRIED TO PULL THE GAS PEDDLE UP AS WELL AS MY BREAKING TO FIND IT WAS DOING ME NO GOOD. AFTER I HAD HIT THE OTHER CAR I HAD FORCED THE TRUCK INTO PARK BECAUSE THE GAS PEDDLE HAD REMAINED STUCK. I THEN TOOK THE KEYS OUT OF THE TRUCK AND GOT OUT TO SEE THE DAMAGE TO THE OTHER CAR. I AM JUST GLADE THAT THERE WAS NO ONE HURT IN THIS SITUATION IT COULD HAVE ENDED MUCH WORSE THERE COULD HAVE BEEN PEOPLE KILLED AND I FEEL LIKE THERE SHOULD BE A INVESTIGATION ON THIS SITUATION. THE POLICE WERE CALLED AND THERE WERE 5 DIFFERENT WITNESSES THAT SEEN THE WHOLE ACCIDENT. WEST JORDAN POLICE DEPARTMENT, 8000 SOUTH 1700 WEST, WEST JORDAN, UT 84088, CASE NUMBER 05H004273, (801) 569-5270. *NM
