I'm sorry. This is physically impossible. The rate of deceleration may have approached zero, but there was no force applied to the vehicle to accelerate it.

Hitting the accelerator in error rather than the brake is probably more common than people realise. We know it happens in low speed incidents (Youtube is full of examples), why wouldn't it happen in high speed incidents? (Just more likely to go unrecognised)
