I was turning right into a parking spot and had my foot on the brake the whole time. When I was more than halfway in the spot, the engine revved and the car plunged forward going over the concrete barrier and into a pole. The airbags did not deploy and thankfully everyone was ok. The officer investigating the crash insisted that my foot must have slipped off the brake pedal but I am positively sure that my foot was on the brake the whole time as it was still on the brake when the car came to a stop after hitting the pole. Witnesses to the crash confirmed that I was traveling very slow as I pulled in the parking spot and that they heard the engine rev and the car accelerated very fast over the barrier and into the pole.
