Unanimous Harrison NY PD Agrees Driver Error Not Unintended Acceleration
The one on the right is the gas pedal. The one on the left is the brake pedal. The chief of the Harrison, New York Police Department says, yep...the 55 year old woman who crashed her Toyota Prius hybrid into a stone wall two weeks ago...the one he said couldnt have been driver error at the time.....was, well, driver error, the most common cause of fully investigated unintended acceleration incidents.
Captain Anthony Marracccini says his departments investigation confirms what Toyota and the NHTSAs found...that the throttle was wide-open at the time of impact...with no sign of any application of the brake.
