The
Los Angeles Times scoured public records and discovered that the number of deaths possibly linked to
Toyota's unintended acceleration issue could top more than 100 – twice the amount previously reported earlier this year.
With recalled vehicles reaching record numbers, complaints have poured in to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration ( NHTSA), and the number of reported accidents involving sudden acceleration have increased accordingly. A review of police reports, lawsuits and NHTSA filings have revealed that sudden, unintended acceleration could be a possible cause of death in as many as 102 cases.
The rise in possible deaths related to sudden acceleration has led to a thorough evaluation of each and every fatality reported involving a recalled Toyota vehicle. All accidents involving recalled vehicles, and in particular cases that involve a fatality, will be investigated by the feds, and the government's final report should finally solidify the gruesome numbers.
