Out of control driver

An elderly man suddenly accelerated while driving down a busy street in Washington DC and plowed into outdoor restaurant tables killing two ladies and injuring others. Police said he was cooperative and remained at the scene. It would be interesting to know if he has dementia. A normal driver does not accelerate enough to lose control of their car while driving down a busy street.

    I've eaten many times at the restaurant
    This was not a "moments inattention"

      Crash investigators determined that, at 12:17 p.m., a gray 2008 Subaru Forester drove south at high speed through a parking lot in the 5500 block of Connecticut. The SUV exited the parking lot, veered south and then north, climbing over the curb outside the Parthenon.https://www.washingtonpost.com/?reload=true&_=1647206252478
