In Sacramento, another driver fell victim to a Camry’s inability to stop; but this time, the consequence was fatal. Mussarat Chaudhary drowned in the Sacramento River after her 2009 Toyota lunged forward into the water.

Toyota’s issues with the uncontrolled acceleration have caused attention, despite the company’s refusal to publicly announce them. This accident was clearly caused by the defect in the model. Chaudhary was on the phone with her daughter as she lost control of her vehicle, crying, “I can’t stop the vehicle, I can’t control the vehicle.” And then it was too late to do anything.

Because of the death of the wife and mother was caused by the company and not the woman herself, Chaudhary’s family is suing Toyota for damages and to create awareness of the manufacturing problem. Previous cases where drivers experienced uncontrolled acceleration have been settled out of court with Toyota, but now having an official lawsuit filed against the company could help prevent future injuries and deaths.

Toyota is currently in the middle of a recall involving Takata airbags in its early-2000 models. Though the fault lies with the airbag manufacturer, Toyota is receiving a large amount of negative attention. The negative attention stems from cases like Chaudhary’s and is really causing doubts for current and future Toyota owners.

Accidents like this are tragic and uncontrollable. Knowing what to do after experiencing a serious accident is often confusing, but vital. Contact a car accident lawyer today.

5,000 homes threatened:Propane rail car on fire

Category: Blog, News Tags: , , , , ,

MSNBC is reporting a fire that could last for 21 days.

Firefighters on Wednesday will try to siphon propane from a burning rail car in a bold maneuver meant to head off an explosion after the blaze forced the evacuation of thousands of people in a Sacramento suburb.

Officials decided to take the step after consulting with members of a national response team from Houston, who were flown in overnight to offer advice.

Fire officials initially said the blaze could continue for 21 days, but Lincoln Fire Chief Dave Whitt said that scenario was unacceptable. Between 4,000 and 5,000 homes in the city of 40,000 are evacuated and more than 6,000 students are missing their first days of classes, with district schools ordered closed until Monday.

Highway 49: Hit-and-Run Head-on Collision in Auburn

Friday morning, August 19, 2011, a person who was driving a white Acura Integra caused a head-on collision on Highway 49 near Auburn. The car accident, which occurred a little before 10 a.m., seriously injured two people who had to be taken to the hospital.

According to the Sacramento Bee, the California Highway Patrol is looking for the hit-and-run driver, and is seeking the public’s help.

What followed was that a 60-year-old woman from Grass Valley was headed southbound on Highway 49, driving a Ford pickup truck in the left lane headed towards Lone Star Road. A 76-year-old man driving a Honda was waiting in the left-turn lane of northbound Highway 49, and preparing to make a left turn onto Lone Star.

The person driving the white Acura was headed westbound on Lone Star Road and abruptly veered onto Highway 49. The Acura traveled across the northbound lanes to the southbound lanes, right in front of traffic.

The woman driving the pickup swerved left and toward the northbound traffic lane. She hit the Honda head on. Both she, and the driver of the Honda were seriously injured. Airlift transported her to Sutter Roseville Medical Center. An ambulance transported the man to Sutter Roseville.

Details from the news story describe the driver of the white Acura as a white male, roughly 20 years old. The California Highway Patrol states the Acura vehicle’s license plate number is 3HXL657.
