Based on the new data, the driver was going as fast as 90 mph before his car crashed on Sept. 13. The National Transportation Safety also posted its findings on Twitter, which attracted opinions from different individuals.
"Preliminary evaluation of the data indicated that application of the accelerator pedal ranged from 0 to 100 percent, the service brake remained off, and the maximum recorded vehicle speed was 90 mph," said one of the Twitter users in the comment section.
If this is true, the driver could be at fault for his own accident since the speed limit in the area he was strolling is only 30 mph.
