Just wondering what others think. Have you heard the story about the runnaway prius in California?

I have to wonder if this is a hoax. My understanding of the Toyota hybrids is that when you press the brake pedal the fuel supply is cut to the gas motor. So not only would the person have to have a stuck accelerator but also a defective brake pedal. What is the possibility that this was a hoax or scam by the driver to get money or get out of the vehicle?
