FATAL 2010 TOYOTA PRIUS CRASH


Sincerest condolences to the family for their tragic loss.

We may never know what actually happened, but anytime a 
2010 Prius is involved, the media, and police, both need to 
be made aware of its astronomical number of
brake system complaints, among all the others too.



The 2010 Toyota Prius has an ASTRONOMICAL NUMBER
OF BRAKE FAILURE COMPLAINTS (and should have been 
RECALLED years ago, to fix ALL OF THE FAILURE MODES); 
not to mention “the admitted” software-based brake failure 
issue, among all the other brake failure modes, as filed in 
numerous brake system complaints to NHTSA, by 
2010 Toyota Prius owners.

A father and son were killed in a crash Thursday near Groveland in Lake County, according to the Florida Highway Patrol.
Michael Reese Sr., 65, and Michael Reese Jr., 40, were from Center Hill, FHP Sgt. Kim Montes said. They were driving east on Austin Merritt Road shortly before 11:30 a.m., and Jose Zambrano, 32, of Santa Ana, Calif., was driving a semi-truck northbound on County Road 33.
Reese Sr., who was driving, tried to turn left on CR 33 but pulled into Zambrano’s path, Montes said. The semi struck the right side of their 2010 Toyota Prius.
The crash remains under investigation.

Toyota: Software to blame for Prius brake
problems

(2010 Toyota Prius)

EXCERPT: 
Toyota officials described the problem as a "disconnect" in the
vehicle's complex anti-lock brake system (ABS) that causes less
than a one-second lag. With the delay, a vehicle going 60 mph will have traveled nearly another 90 feet before the brakes begin to take hold.

Sore Loser TOYOTA Whines Again!


The Court said NO!

When will TOYOTA just pay these victims?


A man, Koua Fong Lee coming from church with his young family couldn't stop his accelerating TOYOTA CAMRY.....Koua Fong Lee's TOYOTA CAMRY killed others for which he was sent to prison....












Toyota Asks 8th Circ. To Rethink Sudden Acceleration Ruling
By Rachel Graf
 
Law360, New York (July 10, 2017, 2:25 PM EDT) -- Toyota Motor Corporation urged the
Eighth Circuit on Friday to reconsider an $11.4 million verdict awarded in a suit alleging an
acceleration defect caused a fatal crash, saying the trial court wrongly allowed evidence that
could have misled the jury.
 
The automaker said the trial court should not have allowed the testimony of three drivers who
similarly experienced accidental acceleration at high speeds in other 1996 Camrys, citing a
lack of evidence that these accidents were caused by the same design defect. Other courts,
including the...

Second Chardon High School graduate dies day after TOYOTA PRIUS crash that killed classmate



Condolences to the family and friends
of the two deceased, Dominic Ricci and
Jackson Condon for their tragic loss.

 We will never know the cause of this tragic crash.


Second Chardon High School graduate dies day after crash that killed classmate

Posted on June 7, 2017

A second Chardon High School graduate died one day after he was involved in a crash that also killed his classmate.






A second Chardon High School graduate died one day after he was involved in a crash that also killed his classmate.






CHARDON TOWNSHIP, Ohio - A Chardon High School graduate died one day after he was involved in a car crash that killed his classmate.
Jackson Condon, 17, died just before 4 p.m. Wednesday at University Hospitals Cleveland Medical Center, the State Highway Patrol said in a news release. Condon was flown via helicopter to the hospital after he was critically injured in a Tuesday crash on Ohio 44 at Hosford Road.
Dominic Ricci, 18, of Middlefield, was also killed in the crash. Ricci was a passenger in a 2010 Toyota Prius that the Condon was driving, the Highway Patrol said.
The Prius failed to stop at the intersection of Ohio 44 just after 12:30 p.m. Tuesday and crashed into a commercial truck, the Highway Patrol said. The truck's driver, a 46-year-old man, was not injured.
Chardon Local Schools Superintendent Michael P. Hanlon Jr. said Ricci and the Condon were recent graduates of Chardon High School. Counselors and schools personnel were available Tuesday and Wednesday at the school, he said in a statement.
"The thoughts and prayers of all of us at Chardon Schools are with the families of these two outstanding young men during this difficult time," Hanlon said in the statement. "Our entire school community will continue to support the families, and each other, in coping with this terrible tragedy."
The crash happened nine days after another Chardon High School student died from injuries he suffered in a crash in Hunting Valley.
Zachary St. Jean, 16, was critically injured May 25 when his car went off the side of a road and struck a fence. He died May 28, officials said.

PD: 1-car crash kills 2 men in Winton Hills

DWAYNE SLAVEY | WCPO


WINTON HILLS, Ohio -- Two men are dead after crashing a rental car into a pole just after 2 a.m. Monday in the 6300 block of Center Hill Avenue near North Bend Road.
Sergeant Mike Machenheimer said identifying the victims' estimated age and race were unrecognizable because the rented gray 2016 Toyota Camry burst into flames.
Speed appears to have been a factor in this crash. The Traffic Unit is continuing the investigation, and any witnesses to this crash are asked to contact the Cincinnati Police Department’s Traffic Unit at 513-352-2514.

Fiery, head-on Toyota Tundra crash kills 4 in Montgomery County












Four adults were killed and four children injured and hospitalized Tuesday, April 19, 2016 when the driver of a Toyota Tundra allegedly crossed the center line of FM 3083 in Montgomery County and struck a Chevrolet Tahoe head-on. (photos courtesy Montgomery County Police Reporter)








A head-on collision has left four people dead and another four seriously injured in Montgomery County Tuesday evening.
Texas Department of Public Safety spokesman Erik Burse said four victims were killed at the scene, and four were seriously injured and transported to hospitals.
The two-vehicle crash on FM 3083 south of Jefferson Chemical Road occurred when a Toyota Tundra pickup going southeast crossed into oncoming traffic, striking a Chevy Tahoe traveling northwest on the road. The Tundra was traveling at a high rate of speed and was passing in a no-passing zone, witnesses told law enforcement.
The Toyota Tundra burst into flames, burning alive two adults in the car. A child in the car was removed by either EMS or witnesses before the car caught fire, Burse said.
Three people were removed from the Chevy Tahoe, officials believe, but they had already been transported for urgent care by the time law enforcement arrived on the scene. Three were taken by ground transportation to Memorial Hermann Hospital downtown and one was taken by Life Flight to Memorial Hermann-The Woodlands. All remain in serious condition and apparently are children.
"This is a preventable crash," Burse said. "This did not have to happen."
Chron.com producer Dana Thompson contributed to this report.

Taxi rams into Fukuoka hospital; 3 dead, 7 injured
CRIME DEC. 04, 2016 - 06:30AM JS
FUKUOKA — A taxi rammed into a hospital in Fukuoka on Saturday, leaving a married
couple and a man dead and seven injured, police said.
The police arrested Tatsuo Matsuoka, the 64-year-old driver of the taxi, at the scene. The
taxi slammed into Harasanshin Hospital in Fukuoka’s Hakata Ward shortly after 5 p.m.
and seven people were taken to hospitals.
The white-colored taxi, which did not carry a passenger, broke through a glass window
near the entrance of the hospital and went inside a lounge, hitting people there. Matsuoka
was quoted by the police as saying the brakes did not work.
The dead are Moriyuki Hanada and his wife Misayo, both 44, and Kazuyuki Endo, 53,
the police said, adding all three were residents of Hakata Ward.
The driver told the police he also tried to downshift to stop the vehicle. An eyewitness
told Kyodo News that the taxi accelerated shortly before it entered the premises of the
hospital.
The taxi reached the opposite wall of the lounge, according to the hospital.
The lounge floor was covered with glass fragments and parts of the crashed vehicle.
Another eyewitness told Kyodo that the taxi driver appeared to be in a state of confusion
after the accident.
Family members of the taxi driver told Kyodo he had no health problems and that he has
worked as a taxi driver for more than 30 years.
The hospital with 359 beds is located about 2 kilometers from JR Hakata Station.
