| Description of the problem | On september 28, 2009 my mother was driving her 2004 toyota solara and had an accident. The car jumped the curb, hit a tree, a lamp post, and crashed into a stone sign. She was taken to the hospital where they found a large bruise on her arm. The doctors sent her for a scan right away, but she had a stroke and never recovered. She died four days later. I realize that the current toyota accelerator recall does not involve the solara at this time, but our family is now suspicious. A cause of my mother's accident has not be determined. She died before the police were able to ask her about the accident. The car is still smashed up and has not been repaired. Should we investigate this matter further?
