The contact was able to dial 911 for assistance of the state police, who provided verbal instructions for stopping the vehicle safely. The contact placed both feet on the brakes and both hands on the emergency brake to get the engine to stall and the vehicle stopped. The vehicle was pulled safely to the side of the road where it was then towed to the dealership for inspection.
