Toyota Sued for Fatal Crash in Houston
Posted on Feb 05, 2010
Toyota is building death traps and they know it. That is what an attorney for a Houston woman's family told reporters.
The woman's family filed a wrongful death lawsuit citing Toyota's alleged faulty accelerator pedals. This is the third such case filed in response to acceleration problems that prompted Toyota to recall millions of vehicles and halt some production.
Trina Renee Harris, a 34-year-old mother of two, died on impact when her Toyota Corolla sped through a stop sign and slammed into a cement divider wall, leaving no skid marks.
Husband Michael Harris recalled is wife telling him that the car's accelerator pedal sometimes seemed to move on its own. Harris a U.S. Navy petty officer first class had recently completed a stint on an aircraft carrier in the Middle East . He was in San Diego when he learned of his wife's death. He returned to Houston, where the family opened Christmas gifts Trina Harris had bought for them.
Other lawsuits involving similar circumstances have been filed in California and Michigan.
The Toyota Camry involved in this death was not listed among the recent recalls.
