1 Car Throttle Stuck problem of the 1987 Mercedes Benz 300

Failure Date: 06/27/2012

After being hit from the front passenger side, the throttle stuck in a full throttle mode. The ignition switch did not stop the vehicle, which remained in full throttle mode after turning to the off position, and the brakes were impaired to the point that I could not overpower the acceleration, causing me to be forced to find a location to crash my vehicle, which was a building. Evidently, the hood had pinned the throttle fully back, and the vacuum hoses, which are necessary to cut fuel to the diesel we severed. Also the vacuum hoses being cut negated the power assist to the brakes thus causing the malfunction.
