Toyota Triggers Chain-Reaction Crash in St. Petersburg

Posted on Feb 02, 2010

On Monday night, driver Hoai Luong of St. Petersburg lost control of a Toyota Camry owned by Tuan Minh Tran, accelerated, and crashed into Luis Anaya-Munoz, who was driving a Chrysler sedan in front of Luong.  Munoz then struck the car before him.  Luong's car flipped and slid through the intersection, finally hitting a Nissan sedan.  The drivers and their passengers sustained minor injuries and were taken to nearby hospitals to be treated.

Luong blames a faulty gas pedal for her loss of control of the Camry.  Investigators report that two hard plastic mats covered the floorboards and factory floor mats on both the driver and passenger sides of the Camry.  Whether the crash was influenced by a faulty pedal can be determined by a certified mechanic. 

Sales were halted on eight models of Toyotas that were recalled last week. Luong's Camry may have been effected by the recall.  The police are still investigating what caused the crash.
