## Narrative
On 17 July 2026, I was attempting to park in a handicap parking place at May Washington Hospital Center.  The outdoor parking lot is to the right of the hospital entrance and consists of several terraced rows with each terrace a few feet below the one above it.  I was halfway into the parking space with my foot on the brake when the car (2024 CRV Hybrid Touring) suddenly accelerated.  I pushed the brake pedal but it had no effect.  There were no warnings from the safety systems.  The front driver side hit a light pole which was the only thing that stopped me from going over the curb completely and dropping down onto the car below.  The low speed crash still caused a total loss.
