Not sure this is quite correct. The car was going that fast when it hit the median, but that was after he mistakenly floored the accelerator instead of slamming on the brakes when he started to lose control.
I've never heard of anyone accidentally hitting the accelerator instead of the brake in a car. This sounds like the type of thing you say to cover up the fact you accelerated when you shouldn't have, not when you meant to hit the brake but missed.
Not only does anyone who has ever driven a vehicle know where the pedals are in a car by foot position, they also know the brake and accelerator pedals are different shaped and feel different. Just not a credible statement to me.
