A sad situation. There is alway the possibility that when pressed on the brake the peddle went to the floor, an with the close proximity of the peddles he also depressed the gas unknowingly. (with the power that may be here it could over power the brakes easily). Also to the other members here; don't be so critical of the owners driving skills, it could happen to you too. Plus there was know mention that there was anyone in the car at the time.
Mark.

Yes, kind of like that TV show in the 60's where a guy buys an old Porter touring car and finds out the ghost of his mom lives in it. But, in this case, it's the ghost of his ex-mistress and she's really out to pay him back....  |

Ya, that went WAY over my head. Not sure what TV show is being referred to and I've never heard of a "Porter touring car." 
I could google it, but I'm too lazy. |

Cobra Crash
I dont think the owner was in the vehicle. He did the shift from outside and off it took without any way to try to stop or slow.
Thats why he s not talking about the circumstances.

Then he would have had to repeat the same mistake twice in a row since it first went forward into the wall of his garage and then into reverse before heading over to the neighbors.
If a car lurches forward on its own under power into a wall, I don't think reaching in and shifting it into reverse is a logical or likely reaction. I would think someone in the driver's seat would be more inclined to do that, thinking he has control of the car. But who knows? It's an unfortunate situation regardless.

I find that if I repeat my mistakes twice in a row I get considerably better at them.  |
