An 18-year-old behind the wheel of a Honda Pilot realized it was accelerating without a chance of stopping, and he was on a dead end road doing over 110... so, he called 911 to report his Honda Pilot was speeding up by itself and he couldn’t stop it.

Clay County Sheriff’s Office deputies, along with the Minnesota State Patrol, responded, and state patrol trooper Zach Gruver sped to about 130 miles per hour to get his squad car in front of the Honda.

 A Clay County deputy on the phone with Dutcher advised him to crash into the trooper in front of him to stop the SUV.


Obviously Honda can't figure out what happened until they get the vehicle, and try and investigate the parts that control accelerating. 

For now, Honda said "... we encourage the family to have the vehicle towed to an authorized Honda dealer for inspection if that has not already occurred. We also want to talk with the family and want them to know that they can always reach out to Honda Customer Relations at 800-999-1009.“

  1. Maybe turn the key off, but not to lock position.
