Provided herein is a pedal assembly (10) for a vehicle with an intermediate link (52, 54) releasably connected to an actuation link (56) of a push rod (14). The push rod is connected to a pedal arm (12) via the actuation link (56) and the intermediate link (52, 54). The intermediate link has two parallel links that are capable of movement from a first position to a second position during vehicle collision using a release lever (24). Upon rotation to its second position, the release lever (24) disconnects and forces the parallel links of the intermediate link (52, 54) away from each other, thus disconnecting the push rod (14) and pedal arm (12). Energy is prevented from being transmitted to the driver's foot, thereby reducing injury to the driver. An actuation mechanism (32), such as a reaction bracket, is mounted to a vehicle structure adjacent the release lever (24), and may actuate rotation of the lever.
