the car did not accelerate... listen to the audio of the crash http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nJ2lFme6Xf8

they tried to blame it on the car, but it was not the car’s fault and was cleared in the investigation

"the car did not accelerate"

The story I read (not the story posted here) - written at the time of the accident, which I read today, said it accelerated. I don't know how you can determine that it didn't accelerate from audio alone. I assume that eyewitnesses said it accelerated. WHY it accelerated is a different question. I just took verbatim what I read in the article.
