Speed

Sounds like a made-for-TV kind of experience:

A motorist drove for 60 miles at speeds of 135 mph after the accelerator on his BMW car jammed and his brakes failed.

... "I was in tears most of the time on the phone to the police - I really could see myself dying," he told the BBC.

... "I hit the brakes. They were braking ok, they were keeping me at about 70 mph.

... Mr Nicolle said: "Then the brakes started burning out - I could see smoke coming from the brakes."
