You just can’t tell me that he wasn’t pressing down on the accelerator rather than the gas pedal. I drove an Audi and it happened to me. I could have sworn that I was on the brake but I was really on the gas. Luckily I figured out the problem in time.
No modern car can overcome the brakes. It’s just that simple. Don’t believe it? try it.
Even though he was a CHP officer, they are not gods. I am saddened by his and his families demise, but anyone can make a fatal error.
I don’t think that we will ever know the true reason for the crash, maybe that’s why they call them accidents.
