Driving 60 miles per hour during rush hour traffic, one minute my foot was on the gas pedal...next minute the gas pedal was missing. I pulled the floor mat back , thinking maybe it shifted...still no pedal..threw my hazards on, was narrowly missed by a car behind me, had to move over 2 lanes of traffic with no ability to accelerate.
Once on the right shoulder I was able to use my phone's flashlight to locate the pedal wrapped behind the brake pedal. Gas pedal was not functioning, called my roadside assistance..waited 2 hours for them to tow it home. Luckily we have a thing in Ohio called a "Road Crewzer" that help at accidents and broken downs during rush hour...he was able to push me a 1/4 mile to the closest off ramp. Sitting where I was on the freeway, I was a sitting duck
Once the car was home I was able to get under the steering wheel and see that the bracket had separated from the firewall. Hopefully my brother in law can come over and weld it back together...I'm grateful that I was not transporting my son or any of his friends when it happened.
