The cause of the accident was determined to be a floor mat that interfered with the gas pedal causing it to stick at wide open throttle.

A terrifying 911 call made from the brother of Saylor’s wife told the 911 operator that the accelerator pedal was stuck and that Saylor was not able to slow the car down.
