| Description of the problem | My husband was working out of town on business in ft. Worth, tx. We live in cincinnati, oh. On dec 4,2008, my husband in his 2007 toyota rav 4, accelerated at a high rate of speed for about 1/4 mile into his hotel building. This was reported by two eye witnesses (per police report). My husband has no memory of the event. He spent 7 days in the icu and was discharged after 10 days from the hospital. He had one additional surgery and several follow up consultations with several doctors since to determine what caused the accident. Nothing was ever determined. Since the toyota recall was announced, it may offer an answer as to what happened. His car was destroyed in the accident, but we still have all the information. |
