I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE 91 FREEWAY IN CA AND ALL OF A SUDDEN MY ACCELERATOR STUCK. I WAS FRANTIC TRYING TO STOP MY CAR. I PRESSED ON MY BRAKES AS HARD AS I COULD. IN THE MEANTIME I GOT OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE FREEWAY AND EXITED THE NEAREST OFF RAMP (CARMENITA). I DROVE THE STREETS FOR AWHILE AND CAME TO A RESIDENTIAL NEIGHBORHOOD. SOMETIME DURING THIS TIME THE PROBLEM SEEMED TO GET BETTER. I PULLED OVER TO A HOUSE WITH TWO WOMEN STANDING IN FRONT AND I WAS ABLE TO STOP AND ASKED THEM FOR HELP. ONCE I TURNED OFF THE ENGINE AND BACK ON AGAIN THE PROBLEM WAS GONE. I WAS ABLE TO CONTINUE TO MY DESTINATION WHICH WAS TO VISIT MY DAUGHTER IN THE HOSPITAL. IT WAS ONE OF THE SCARIEST MOMENTS OF MY DRIVING EXPERIENCES. IT IS AMAZING THAT I DIDN'T HIT ANOTHER CAR. IT NEVER HAPPENED AGAIN SO I NEVER REPORTED IT UNTIL NOW. *TR
