Glenn -- People were making excuses for the driver and saying perhaps it was a stuck throttle. The driver said he hit the throttle and the car lurched forward he thought he went for the brake but "may have" hit the throttle again.
It's a BLOWN Hemi --- in a tiny car -- you know a "lurch" could be violent -- after that - anything can happen real quick. I don't know if anyone will really know because I don't know the driver would really know what happened it happened so fast.
If the throttle stuck --- there would have been black tire marks where he hit the door and the motor would still be going. I didn't see any rubber marks...
