On the 6th of december 2000, my s10 blazers throtle plate stuck, wide open while i was rearanging the truck in my driveway. It then sent me flying into my neighbors back yard, where i took out a hedge row, a bird feeder, and a couple small pine trees. Then i proceded into the yard behind my neighbors house, where i smashed into a medium to large sized tree, which did not stop my vehicle, or unstick the throttle. Then my truck continued into there neighbors yard where i was headed straight for the back of there house, so instead of hitting there house i aimed the truck into a large maple tree. Which finally stoped the truck, and also sent my chest and my face into the steering wheel, and my head into the windsheild. I suffered a minor concution, a cracked sturnum, and 3 ribs. Along with a few cuts and bumps, and a totaled truck!
Engine suddenly accelerated. Please describe.
