I WAS DRIVING IN THE MIDDLE LANE ON A THREE LANE ROAD. I ARRIVED AT A TRAFFIC LIGHT AND CAME TO A COMPLETE STOP. I WAS STANDING IN A TRAFFIC LIGHT WITH MY FOOT ON THE BRAKE. STANDING IN THE SAME TRAFFIC LIGHT, THERE WERE MANY CARS IN FRONT OF MY VEHICLE AND SEVERAL CARS BEHIND MY VEHICLE. SUDDENLY, I FELT MY VEHICLE WAS ATTEMPTING TO MOVE AND SMELLED BURNING RUBBER FROM THE RIGHT FRONT TIRE. AT THE SAME TIME MY FOOT WAS STILL APPLIED FIRMLY TO THE BRAKES AND MY VEHICLE JUMPED WITH A GREAT FORCE COLLIDING WITH THE VEHICLE IN FRONT ME, WHICH CAUSED ANOTHER IMPACT AND A THIRD IMPACT. THE POINT OF IMPACT ON MY VEHICLE WAS THE RIGHT SIDE OF THE FRONT OF THE VEHICLE. THE LEFT FRONT TIRE WAS ONLY TWO WEEKS OLDAND THE OTHER THREE TIRES WERE APPROXIMATELY 12,000 MILES. THE TWO FRONT AIR BAGS DEPLOYED AND THE VEHICLE WAS TOTALED. MY DAUGHTER WAS IN THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT AND SUFFERED A TINY FRACTURE IN THE RIP CAGE AS A RESULT OF THE AIRBAG IMPACT. THIS WAS THE FIRST TIME WE HAD EXPERIENCED A CASE OF SUDDEN ACCELERATION. *TR
