WAS TRAVELING ABOUT 25 MPH ON SOUTH LAS VEGAS BOULEVARD IN LAS VEGAS, NEVADA, WENT TO ACCELERATE AROUND A CAR AND PUSHED THE GAS PEDAL DOWN TO THE FLOOR TO KICK IT INTO ANOTHER GEAR. THE ENGINE REVVED UP AND THE PEDAL WOULDN'T COME OFF THE FLOOR EVEN WHEN I TRIED TO PRY IT OFF WITH MY FOOT.. THE CAR CONTINUED TO REV UNCONTROLLABLE UNTIL I PUT IT IN NEUTRAL AND SHUT THE CAR OFF AS I TRAVELED DOWN THE ROAD. I PULLED INTO A PARKING LOT. THERE, AT A STOP, I STARTED THE CAR, PUT IT IN NEUTRAL, PUSHED THE GAS PEDAL TO THE FLOOR TO SEE IF IT WOULD DO IT AGAIN AND THE CAR REVVED UP. I LET MY FOOT OFF THE GAS, AND THE CAR CONTINUED TO REV UP WITH THE PEDAL NOT RETURNING BACK TOWARDS ME-STUCK TO THE FLOOR BOARD AGAIN. I HAD TO SHUT IT OFF AGAIN TO RELEASE THE PEDAL AND STOP THE REVVING. *TR
