"I just knew it wasn't his fault," said Gene Hahne, a friend who was in 
the parade directly behind Sheppard's car. "He did everything he could. 
He tried to put on the brakes, he tried to put it in park. Nothing worked."

This sounds like a credible witness. Not. From behind
the car, he could see the driver's foot hit the brake?
Or was it the flash of brake lights that glared at him?
He must have seen the reverse light flash, too, as the
driver tried to put it into park.  I think the key word
here is "friend".

Another several million dollars pissed away because
some nimrod can't drive. "Out of control" indeed. DC
should be taking the driver to court for defamation
of character.
