It’s just a moron who pressed the wrong pedal and then floors it when they panic. Happens all the time.Damn, that looked pretty scary. For sure I want to know what the cause was because if the videos aren't faked or otherwise misrepresentative of what happened, that was very bizarre.
Hard to imagine a driver not being way too scared to drive like that unless there was a stroke or some other brain-function related problem.
I would guess it's one of:
(1) Faked videos and a fake story.
(2) A human driver suffering some sort of severe cognitive issue.
(3) A serious technical issue.
I'll add (2a) some kids trying to steal the car or something weird like that where the "driver" was unable to control the vehicle. Always possible there was some sort of weird circumstance like that. But yeah, very bizarre.
