Anytime a throttle sticks immediately shut the key off. I had a mustang nearly kill me. Seemed to be an eternity before I realized turn the key off. I bashed the throttle 2 or 3 times before I killed the engine. It was a 65 I was test driving.
Sad to see any one loose a life and a truck.
Indeed.Quote:

damn man that sucks, belt has saved me a couple times always been newer vehicles though.
wow thats really sad, i had a gas pedal stick in a fully loaded big uhaul truck once getting on the highway in heavy traffic, had to take it on the shoulder because it was in detroit and nobody moves for merging traffic.
That is sad. I've always be afraid of having that happen on one of my old rides. The '57 and the '58 would have been the worst with a lousy lap belt and metal dash.
wow, i feel sick. sorry about your loss.
wow i'm with tyler on this a part of me just died. sorry for the loss
Our prayers are with you and your friend's family.
Were they just the original lap belts? You have me worried about mine now.
YES!! And they looked like new.Quote:

Is there any idea as to why the throttle stuck? I had a old dodge that a fray in the cable made it hang at WOT untill I finally could get shut down. Sorry for your loss
How did the wreck happen? The skid marks make it look like the drivers side would have been smashed. Was it a blowout or showing off? Sorry for the loss.
The truck's throttle stuck open, causing the truck to WOT out of control, the brakes were locked up in front, making the truck to skid out of control. The driver's side hit the ditch first, and the momentum caused the truck to rotate counterclockwise, making the passenger side to hit the tree first...
