A North Texas family is trying to figure out why their teenage son’s Hyundai suddenly seemed to accelerate out of control. The car raced along Texas highways for more than an hour at speeds of 100 miles per hour, while the 16-year-old driver pleaded with 911 dispatchers for help. Elez Lushaj told police his car first started accelerating on Highway 183 in Bedford Sunday morning on December 2. He continued driving at excessive speeds on highways and interstates for nearly 120 miles.
