THE INCIDENT HAPPENED ON THE 9TH OF APRIL 2021 AT 06:45AM ON OUR COMPANY'S CAR PARK, THIRD LEVEL. AS I WAS PARKING THE TOYOTA CHR, I'M FULLY AWARE THAT I'M JUST LIGHTLY STEPPING ON THE GAS LIKE WHAT I'M DOING WHEN I'M PARKING THE CAR EVERYTIME I GO TO WORK WHEN THE CAR SUDDENLY REVVED UP. IT HAPPEN SO FAST AND WITHIN A SHORT DISTANCE I CRASHED ON THE WALL. I TRIED TO BACK UP AND IT REVVED UP BACKWARD AGAIN AND HIT THE REAR OF ANOTHER CAR. I TRIED TO MOVE FORWARD BY STEPPING LIGHTLY ON THE GAS AND IT ACCELERATES SO FAST FORWARD AGAIN UNTIL I HIT THE WALL AND SOMEBODY RAN OVER AND HELP ME OUT OF THE CAR. EVERYTHING HAPPEN QUICKLY THAT'S WHY I WAS IN SHOCK. I KNOW VERY WELL SOMETHING WRONG WITH THE CAR, BECAUSE I PARK THE SAME WAY EVERYTIME I GO TO WORK AND NOTHING HAPPEN. MY CAR WAS TOTALED AND SO WAS THE CAR THAT WAS HIT WHEN IT BACKED UP.
