And who would call 911 with a runaway car??? "Sir, put the phone down and put the car in neutral."

I understand that is exactly what the 911 operator told him to do but got no response.

I had a stuck accelerator once. I took the huge leap of faith and turned the ignition off. Amazingly the car immediately started to slow down.

BTW: It was a Buick.
