Consumer stated I'm in touch with my personal claims manager, Mr. Thomas opatz at esurance and customer experience at Toyota who I sent my permission to have my car inspected because I encountered a problem with my accelerator which apparently became stuck and in my desperate attempt to stop the car by applying extreme pressure to my brakes and I could not stop my out of control car so I had to swerve to my right to avoid catastrophic accident. I swerved into trees which brought my car to a complete stop. All my airbags deployed and my seatbelt protected me. Photos attahed
