What happeneed the computers that control your engine discovered a problem/glitch and went into "limp home mode" .Where the electronic throttle is dropped out and the manual/normal cable from the gas pedal to the cam on the throttle shaft comes into use.What you should have done is to take your foot off the gas pedal for a second and then down on the pedal,and you would have felt a increase in preasure to move the pedal.You then could proceed down the road until you find a safe spot to pull over and restart the car(which reboots the controls and they run a system check). If all is well the car drives normal again.Make note of the event and if and when it returns,have the car scanned for trouble codes. Then report back here with the codes and ask for advice.
