The car was being moved from the front of my house into the driveway. The brakes would not engage to make the turn, instead vehicle accelerated. My son was driving and he turned the steering wheel to the left to try to slow it down. He then panicked and jumped out. The car proceded to continue crashing through our neighbor's chain link fence, continued through his yard. Then crashed through the fence on the other side, ending up back in our yard and hitting another car parked in our yard, as well as a trampoline, and ended up hitting the corner of the garage which stopped it.
