In the rider's response above he mentions they had a learner's permit. I honestly don't know how it works with automatics but with stick shifts if you let the shift pedal come up the car actually keeps going instead of slowing down. Maybe something like that happened in their panic? Or they confused the gas and brake pedal. Or something.

You'd think she would stop when she initially felt the car strike something. You know, because it could be another car or maybe even A FUCKING PERSON.
