- description: Dashboard camera footage of an elderly couple's car accelerating uncontrollably before crashing into another vehicle has sparked an investigation by officials in South Korea. The car is seen abruptly accelerating from a standstill, forcing the driver to weave through heavy traffic before eventually slamming into the back of a stationary vehicle at 129kmh. The driver's wife is heard yelling, "Oh my God, what is going on?" during the 29 second video. The alleged 'sudden acceleration' crash on May 6, took place in the centre of one of South Korea's largest cities, Daegu, and injured 17 people. The couple's son says his father suffered fractured fingers and ribs, and his mother required surgery for internal bleeding. Hyundai Motors has since released a statement saying the vehicle, a 2009 Sonata YF sedan, is being inspected by the Korean National Forensic Service.
