'Runaway Prius' claim dismissed by Toyota - BBC News

Quote:
Mr Sikes, 61, claimed his car suddenly accelerated on a San Diego freeway and that he could not stop it for some 20 minutes until a highway patrol officer helped him slow the vehicle down.
I couldn't find anything about:
  1. What was his max speed during/after 20 minutes of acceleration,
  2. How exactly did the police officer help him slow down. What did the officer do that the driver couldn't do himself?
