One story I heard is that the driver was used to his own Tiptronic and was in the habit of left-foot braking, went for the brake with his left and got the clutch.
I do know from experience that the brain tells you to step down harder when you believe you are on the brake pedal and nothing happens. Happened to me once years ago. I believe that phenomenon was the cause of the famous Audi "unintended accelleration" fuss in the eightys. My mother in law nailed a tree real hard while parallel parking. Claims the accelerator stuck. I don't have the courage to suggest that it can only "stick" in a position you put it in with your foot, wide open! |
