At appx 115pm I had lunch at the millburn diner. I got into my vehicle at appx 2pm in the parking lot of the diner at 72 essex street in millburn NJ. I pressed the button to start my car. I looked back and shifted from park to reverse in motion. I slowly moved backwards in the vehicle and I experienced a sudden involuntary acceleration backwards and my vehicle was jolted by a telephone pole. I braked and went to put the car into drive to shift forward and the car suddenly accelerated forward involuntarily with speed. I instinctively tried to stop the car with the brakes and by pressing the park button to stop the vehicle. The vehicle ran into a metal railing guarding an outdoor dining area. There us a 3rd party witness to this sudden acceleration.
