On the news this morning, they played parts of a recording of a lady
who called 911 from her cell phone. Seems her accelerator got stuck
and her brakes failed all at once or were unable to overpower the
engine.

There was a dramatic rescue where a police in squad car pulled in
front of her and used his car to brake hers to a stop.

Funny how no one knew what you are to do in a case like this, namely
to turn off the ignition (one click only so it does not lock your
steering wheel) and the car will coast to a stop. Now you may want to
down shift one gear at a time until you get the car stopped. With
automatic it may never completely stop if going down hill, but that's
better that whizzing along with a stuck accelerator.
