The car was in neutral:the air conditioner was on: my foot was on the brake. With my foot on the brake, the car was placed into drive. The wheels spun and left rubber tracks as long as 24" on the pavment although my foot was not on the accelerator. With the car careening forward, I depressed the brake pedal with as much force as possible, but the car did not respond and continued forward.the vehicle stopped only when it went through the wall of my garage.the air bag did not deploy. My foot was never on the accelerator. As soon as the car stopped, I checked the location of my feet and I confirmed that the accelerator was not being depressed. I had the police come and prepare an acident report which recorded the acceleration marks that remained on my driveway as a result of the sudden and high acceleration which was incurred.
In a front end collision driver's/passenger's air bags did not deploy. Vehicle hit a tree at 60mph,and smashed front end of vehicle to point where front doors could barely open.
