  1. Another Toyota killed a person and put few in the hospital. Toyota and Lexus are known for unintended acceleration.

  2. My sympathies to the families of everyone involved in this tragedy, especially the Chiangs. Playing the blame game is perhaps natural, but pointless, except perhaps to point out that we have a public health epidemic in traffic fatalities, not individuals doing something right/wrong.

    The speed limit there is 50mph and let’s assume neither driver was speeding – the crash might have never happened if the road was designed for 40mph and neither driver was speeding.

      1. It’s anne m., krystal… this is such a tragedy!!! He’s my eye Dr… I can’t believe two 10 y/o children lost their mother… I am so sad… prayers and condolences to their families!
