How long did that take?
I think that rather than take the time to call 911 and talk with them, I would have put the car in neutral and stood on the breaks with both feet.
Even if the breaks were out, which they mentioned but I doubt, it would still get the car stopped a hell of a lot faster than calling 911.
In the old days, you could also just turn the key off, or jam it into 1st or reverse.
Apparently, and this is something I did not know, on cars like Mrs. Moonie's with the key-less push button start if you are moving and push the "power" button nothing happens. You have to hold it down for 3-seconds to have the engine turn off.
