that is a short amount of time to react....... although not to beat this to death, we "know" they had at least a minute at about 120mph of speed, so I would think a mile of fairly straight 4+ lane highway plus another half mile to realize the car went from 70 to 100+.
all in all it is not impossible to hold a button for 3 seconds.
so that is ruled out.
It was tragic, and everyone should be more alert to our driving actions, and not be distracted from the main objective. Good Luck ALL!
