GNX #285 wipes out at end of 9 sec. run... 2 stories.... no brakes..... throttle stuck open.... driver was elderly man with minor injuries (lucky)

Such a rare car to be crashing... It just hurts to see that.

Then again, it'* somewhat fitting that this Buick met the same fate as many Buicks do - being totaled by it'* elderly driver.
