Pennings said someone, believed to be Saylor's wife, called 911 just before the crash to say the accelerator was stuck. The car was headed downhill, and a witness said it was going more than 100 mph.

The SUV driver was hospitalized with moderate injuries.

Saylor was a safety officer, whose job was to inspect school buses, ambulances, tow trucks and armored vehicles.
