I doubt that. There are hundreds of crashes like this from people hitting the gas instead of the brake and panicking. In the 1990s and even a few years ago, lawsuits hit Audi and Toyota over "sudden acceleration". This is why auto makers now put black boxes in many models, because it saved Toyota millions when they could prove the people were just jamming the throttle.
It's just a rumour. No reports on what happened yet but I've heard a couple of doozies.
