The House On Telegraph Hill - Runaway Car

  Victoria heads to the nearby market in her car unaware that she is about to suffer a terrifying experience - her brakes suddenly fail and she finds herself speeding out of control.  It couldn't have happened in a worse place given that she lives near the top of Telegraph Hill.  The runaway car travels entirely on Telegraph Hill streets except for one cut to Russian Hill.  Below is a map (click on it to enlarge) showing the eight locations leading up to the crash site.

 

And here, in Then and Now format, is how the runaway car sequence unfolded...

 

  As she crests the hill shown above, her brakes give out on her and there's nothing she can do about it...

Continuing on ...

 

  With the end of the cul-de-sac rushing towards her, this doesn't look good.  How will it end?  Will Victoria survive?  Why did the brakes fail?  Citysleuth intends to keep you all in suspense until the next post ...
