No fesser-uppers on this, eh?
Presume they left (forum) after they wrecked.
Things sure weren't much helping the unfortunate nissan jappy car driver with the a-hole driver illegally squeezing her over without recourse to veer - would have loved to have seen her slam him but she was cool even amid the airbag explosion and he made off without a scratch.

Accelerator issue does not make a vehicle fish tale, go over the center divider and into on coming traffic.
At the angle he went up over the divider it looks like he lost control.
Too much pedal and over steer to compensate.
Idiot could have seriously injured someone.

People panic....
True story...in 1965 (I was a 15 yr old kid), I was riding in a car with a family friend going to the bakery after church.
She had a nice automatic 1963 Impala.
Pulled out of parking lot and said "watch this!".....stomped on it. Burned rubber.
Gas pedal stuck to the floor.
She panicked and yelled "JUMP".
She opened her door and jumped out leaving me sitting there with the cake on my lap.
No time to reach across and turn it off or throw into neutral.
I calmly set the cake on the floor, opened the door and rolled out in my Sunday church suit.
She was screaming because she thought I was still in the car.
Car flew down the road right into a telephone. Broke the pole and totaled the car except the engine was still running when I got there.
Reached in and turned off the key......
Her father was pissed......
God was with us that day as no one was hurt, especially anyone coming the other way.
Like I said....people panic.
