According to the owner of the car, Richard Palmer of Framingham, Mass., “the [valet] said the car kept accelerating.” Other than a heap of wooden fence debris and a dislodged window screen, the damage was concentrated around the 10-foot tall gash where the car penetrated the building. “At first I heard...
