    The foot on the accelerator after the crash doesn’t make sense. He would have been thrown around like crazy. I think this points to sensor malfunction or something like that.

      I was in an accident, knew it was going to happen, and braced myself. When it was all over, there was a loud noise, and I realized my foot was braced on the accelerator. Since the car had started to roll when I braced myself, this had little bearing on the accident. Also, this driver wasn’t in a state where he was bracing for an accident, but he may have jammed his foot on the pedal when he woke up.

      It could have been some other object. It’s possible that his foot or leg did land on the accelerator in the crash too.
