The parking/emergency brake lever was accidently activated while traveling at highway speed of 70mph. The lever is in a bad location and close to where cell phone is charged, cup holders are and transmission shift lever. Cell phone charge cable caught on lever and locked up rear brakes at 70mph. Almost resulted in loss of life and crash!.
