Alert to Hyundai owners: Teenage driver says car sped out of control in 100-plus-mile ride [View all]
ROCKWALL -– A North Texas family is trying to figure out why their teenage son’s Hyundai suddenly seemed to accelerate out of control.
The car raced along Texas highways for more than an hour at speeds of 100 miles per hour, while the 16-year-old driver pleaded with 911 dispatchers for help.
“Please, just do anything,” Elez Lushaj begged dispatchers in recordings obtained by News 8.
Emergency operators are heard on the calls frantically trying to find a solution. They urge the teenager - without success - to try different ways to bring the 2011 Hyundai Elantra under control, including putting it in neutral, or turning off the ignition.
