A major malfunction of the car, did she have a seizure or TIA or did she lose her shit when she saw the person who just cut the line at the cash? I can’t wait to find out how this drama will unfold. I don’t read Le Journal, so Kate,please keep us posted. (In a comment please, updates to original posts don’t make it to the RSS feed.)

The banal explanation is the most likely: she accidentally hit the gas instead of the brake, and when the car took off she panicked and pressed harder on the brake/gas.
A 65-year-old woman driving an SUV may have chosen it to feel safe in, suggesting she may not be a confident driver.

WTF? The item says the driver didn’t even shut off the engine, that it was still running when the police arrived and even after they yelled at the driver to shut it off. Yet only minor injuries reported, so it’s not like the driver was unconscious. FFS, maybe part of the driving exam should be the ability to not lose your shit when things get a bit tense. (Turning off the engine is the FIRST THING you should do after a collision!)

That’s why every motorcycle has a kill switch on the right handlebar. Push the red switch up and poof!
