Narrative

I WAS STOPPED AT AN INTERSECTION WAITING FOR ONCOMING TRAFFIC TO SLOW DOWN TO TURN, AND THE TRUCK JUST TAKES OFF ON ITS OWN. I TRIED PRESSING THE BRAKE PEDAL BUT AS SOON AS IT TOOK OFF I WAS HIT BY ANOTHER VEHICLE. AFTER MY TRUCK WAS HIT BY THE VEHICLE IT TOOK OFF AGAIN OUT OF CONTROL ON ITS OWN WHILE I WAS TRYING TO PRESS THE BRAKE. LUCKILY THE TRUCK DIED ON ITS OWN BEFORE HITTING ANYTHING ELSE. *TR
