A dashcam video tweeted Wednesday by police illustrates what can go wrong in a moment on the roads.

The incident occurred Dec. 8 and shows a vehicle accelerating through the intersection of Red Maple Road and Bantry Avenue in Richmond Hill after the driver hit the gas pedal instead of the brake. The vehicle ended up knocking down a light pole and striking a house.

“We chose to use this today just to get people’s attention on social media and remind them to use extra caution while driving,” said Sgt. Andy Pattenden in an email.

The 70-year-old driver was charged with careless driving. She wasn’t physically injured, according to police.
