Missouri Troopers Help Escort Driver After Accelerator Gets Stuck

 

On August 18th, 2012, an Iowa woman was driving on Interstate I-35 when her accelerator got stuck. She did her best to avoid the traffic as she barreled down the highway at speeds over 100 mph. She managed to dial 911 and alert Missouri law enforcement of her situation as she fought to keep control of her car. Soon after, several State Troopers drove up alongside her out-of-control car and helped escort her speeding vehicle through the traffic until the engine cut out. An article from KMBC.com said that "the case serves as a prime example why Missouri law requires drivers to stay on the right-hand side of highways, using the left lanes only to pass....keeping the left lane clear helps with police, troopers, paramedics and firefighters in case of an emergency."
