James Sikes, whose 2008 Toyota Prius accelerated suddenly on a California interstate Monday, reaching 94 MPH before he was able to bring it under control with the help of the California Highway Patrol, said the cause of the incident was a "stuck" accelerator.

According to Sikes, he held on to his steering wheel and tried to pull the accelerator pedal back with his right hand. "I thought it was maybe stuck," he said. "Somehow the pedal was stuck. But it wasn't stuck on anything that was visible."

Toyota has issued separate recalls to fix floor mats and "sticky" accelerator pedals. The 2008 Prius is covered by the floor mat recall, but not the accelerator recall. It uses a different accelerator pedal than the cars that allegedly have "sticky" pedals.

Sikes said that he also checked his floor mat during the incident, and the mat was "perfect."

The first video is preferred over the ABCnews one. Both of them is about what happened this morning, a Prius "went out of control" and was doing 95 mph. Honestly, personally, I would have tried to do over 95 since it was a highway from San Diego... long ass freeway; however, where they have stopped... I wouldn't have gone over 65.

He should have pressed on the gas pedal and see if he can make the thing unstuck inside .__."
Luckily, he was unharmed. Fuckin' Prius...
