VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
ON THE 6TH OF DECEMBER 2000, MY S10 BLAZERS THROTLE PLATE STUCK, WIDE OPEN WHILE I WAS REARANGING THE TRUCK IN MY DRIVEWAY. IT THEN SENT ME FLYING INTO MY NEIGHBORS BACK YARD, WHERE I TOOK OUT A HEDGE ROW, A BIRD FEEDER, AND A COUPLE SMALL PINE TREES. THEN I PROCEDED INTO THE YARD BEHIND MY NEIGHBORS HOUSE, WHERE I SMASHED INTO A MEDIUM TO LARGE SIZED TREE, WHICH DID NOT STOP MY VEHICLE, OR UNSTICK THE THROTTLE. THEN MY TRUCK CONTINUED INTO THERE NEIGHBORS YARD WHERE I WAS HEADED STRAIGHT FOR THE BACK OF THERE HOUSE, SO INSTEAD OF HITTING THERE HOUSE I AIMED THE TRUCK INTO A LARGE MAPLE TREE. WHICH FINALLY STOPED THE TRUCK, AND ALSO SENT MY CHEST AND MY FACE INTO THE STEERING WHEEL, AND MY HEAD INTO THE WINDSHEILD. I SUFFERED A MINOR CONCUTION, A CRACKED STURNUM, AND 3 RIBS. ALONG WITH A FEW CUTS AND BUMPS, AND A TOTALED TRUCK!*AK
