Toyota 911 Call Of Family's Fatal Lexus Crash

Before Toyota could be bothered to recall 3.8 million Toyota and Lexus cars that they had known for two years had a problem, an off-duty state trooper and three members of his family had to die in fatal car crash when the car accelerated . This is the recording of their 911 call moments before they crashed into the end of the freeway at 120 mph.

Panic is a very powerful emotion. If you find yourself in this situation, the key is to remain calm and put the car in neutral until the car slows down enough so you can safely pull off the road

This was a loaner from a Lexus dealer. Their car was being repaired and they took a rental/ loaner while the car was in the repair facility. I am thinking......big law suit.

Alot of talk about throwing in neutral, scraping wall, turn off ignition. The problem I see is when people panic they lose their ability to think clearly. I've raced for years and have had my throttle stick wide open. And even though I know what to do, sometimes there isnt time to make a difference before crashing. But you CAN try to get car in neutral, it may take a hard bang, or yank on gear lever because of the load the gears are under. Acceleration will stop, and that's KEY! GOD SPEED.

The lack of compassion some people have truly sickens me.

20 years ago, my dad's Nissan Z350 was stuck with the accelerator ON when he was coming home from work. I can't recall if he said it was the 71 or 60 FWY in Chino Hills, but the car was having major mechanical issues and he couldn't get it to shift into neutral of turn off (and obviously the breaks weren't working). Basically, he drove it off the shoulder of the freeway and did doughnuts in a field for over 30 minutes before "control" crashing it in a ditch. Stopped the engine. He was lucky.

Got to love all the haters of America. No respect at all for human life. An entire family killed and some people laugh? If you laughed at this then it is you and your country that need the help.

@thatguywiththeegg ok bud whatever u say

[thatguywiththeegg]

@5implesimon You showed compassion to a video? The driver murdered his family because he didn't know how to fucking drive a car. I laughed because religious fairy tales are the sign of a sun worshiping primitive. Nothing of value was lost, they are just Americans.

@thatguywiththeegg laughed?! show some compassion!

[thatguywiththeegg]

Jesus christ Americans really are dumb to the point of being a danger to themselves. Additionally, I laughed at the pray bit, I am sure your sky fairy will save you...wait.
