THIS CAUSED ME TO CRASH INTO A UNOCCUPIED PARKED CAR WHICH BANGED ANOTHER UNOCCUPIED CAR PARKED NEXT TO IT. ALL 3 CARS WERE DAMAGE. MY CAR AND THE CAR I HIT SUSTAINED FRONT END DAMAGE. THE THIRD CAR WAS SCRAPED ALONG THE DRIVER SIDE DOOR AND REAR PANEL. THERE WAS A WITNESS TO THIS ACCIDENT THAT TOLD THE RESPONDING CALIFORNIA CHP OFFICER THAT HE SAW MY CAR EXPERIENCE TWO SURGES AS I SLOWLY ENTERED THE PARKING.
