With accelerator jammed at 120 mph, woman fears imminent death

A police dashcam video shows a dark SUV flying past cars and blowing through construction.

The driver's 911 call tells the rest of the story:Ā  Lauri Ulvestad, utterly terrified, frantically steering a 2011 Kia Sorrento with a jammed accelerator taking it to speeds up to 120 mph.

ā€œI told the dispatcher to tell my family I loved them,ā€ Ulvestad, 47, told CNN.com by phone. ā€œI did not think I was going to make it.ā€

Ulvestad credits dispatcher Kelly Brieg with keeping her calm and ultimately saving her life.
