Car acceleration, crash & fire on the Rainbow Bridge

https://disabled.social/@MikeImBack/111467357736900159

"So it appears *maybe* the accident at the bridge was caused by a stuck accelerator as the couple's car just missed the cutoff for a recall for that very problem. Their's was a 2022".

Thankfully he was driving his parents’ Lexus.
The car was written off because all the body shock protections were destroyed, but he just had some minor back pain.

Let me add that I’m pretty dumb about cars, costs and quality. I’ve only owned a plethora of Corollas 😀
