Toyota’s recent recall of more than 8.1 million vehicles is shedding light on a lot of things – one of them being an old court case about an accident involving a 1996 Toyota Camry.<\/p>\n
According to court filings, on June 10, 2006, 29-year-old Koua Fong Lee was traveling eastbound on Interstate 94 going as fast as 90 mph when his car hit an Oldsmobile at a red light. The accident killed the driver of the Oldsmobile along with his 10-year old son. His 7-year old niece was left\u00a0a quadriplegic and died a year and a half later.<\/p>\n
Lee was eventually sentenced in 2008 to eight years in prison after being convicted of criminal vehicular homicide.<\/p>\n
Lee’s defense attorney is now trying to get the case reopened, amid\u00a0news of millions of recalled Toyotas for problems relating to sudden acceleration.<\/p>\n
<\/span><\/p>\n \u201cI don’t know who could disagree with this being a possible cause — because otherwise he’s just a wild kamikaze guy trying to kill somebody,\u201d said attorney Brent Schafer.<\/p>\n Schafer said that the car still exists and is sitting at a police impound lot. He plans on petitioning for the court for an order preserving the car and seeking approval to get it examined.<\/p>\n – By: Omar Rana<\/em><\/p>\n Source: Automotive News<\/a> (Subscription Required)<\/p>\n Toyota’s recent recall of more than 8.1 million vehicles is shedding light on a lot of things – one of them being an old court case about an accident involving a 1996 Toyota Camry.
