Weller was taking prescription medication that causes nausea and dizziness, and may have pressed the gas instead of the brake because he had hip replacements that reduced his mobility, the report said, noting that there was no evidence Weller was unconscious or had a seizure.

No friggin way to you accidently step on the gas instead of the brake for almost 1000 feet! Fleeing the scene of an accident, driving while under the influence of prescription medicine, 10 murders... what a sweet old man.

Unfortunately , it happens all the time. Elderly people ( mostly ), in rare cases , will hit the gas instead of the brake and then just panic and push harder on the gas pedal thinking it is the brake pedal. I have witnessed this first hand. They just completely freeze up. And usually do not let off the gas until the car actually hits something to bring it to a stop. How many old folks have you heard of running through their garages , or store fronts? They always say " It was like the gas pedal was just stuck ". Yeah, stuck under their foot........
