It's not that clear, the possibility is just what I pierced together from the facts mentioned in https://www.newsweek.com/jonathan-ross-ice-agent-shooting-minneapolis-minnesota-11332093
The article comes with the slant from the prosecutors, which seems to suggest he broke the window and then the driver started to accelerate, at which point during the struggle he used a taser that did strike the driver. However, if someone was struck by a taser I doubt they would be "weaving to shake him lose", they would be convulsing from the shock which would cause a similar effect, including possibly stepping on the accelerator. Considering how much they are lying about Renee Good, I'm not going to give the prosecution's slant much authority except for the core facts.
Like I said, it wouldn’t surprise me if what actually happened was that the moron used the taser and that it caused the driver to compulse and press on the accelerator. That would cause the driver to start convulsing and, regardless of the prosecution's claims, that would cause a lot of the behavior they accuse the driver of. Normally, one might assume that they've already dismissed this possibility, but the US is not living in normal times and under a working system of law.
The court records are probably the best source if you want to dig at it.
None of that is in the videos.
Videos? Searching, there is only one of that incident: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tGWwKznwdXw
