Texas family sues Toyota after fatal Southlake crash
Posted on Feb 27, 2010
Four people from Southlake were killed in a crash the day after Christmas while riding in a 2008 Toyota Avalon. A lawsuit filed by the family of Sharon Ransom, 56, one of the victims claims that an acceleration defect caused the car to accelerate suddenly.
The 2008 Toyota Avalon was one of those included in the massive worldwide recall of defective Toyota vehicles for unintended acceleration issues. In addition to a redesigned floor mat, Camry and Avalon models should be taken to dealers to have the shape of the floor surface under the mat reconfigured to increase the amount of space between the mat and the accelerator pedal.
The accident happened when the Avalon failed to stop at the T-intersection of Lonesome Dove Road and Burney Lane not long before noon. The vehicle, being driven by Monty Hardy, 56, sped down an embankment at 47 miles per hour, crashed through a metal fence, hit a tree, became airborne, and ended up upside-down in a 6 foot deep pond.
Tragically police and other citizens who arrived at the scene were only able to rescue one unconscious passenger from the cold water. The rest were pulled from the vehicle only after it was towed out of the water thirty minutes later – too late for them to have a chance at survival.
Driver Hardy and passenger Wendy Akin, 38, were pronounced dead at the scene of the accident. Another passenger Wendy Akin, 38, and Ransom were taken to a Grapevine hospital where they later died.
According to Hardy’s wife, the Avalon had previously had problems with unexpected acceleration and although her husband was taking medication for seizures however the autopsy report showed no evidence of a seizure. Investigators noted that there is no record of Hardy trying to apply the brakes before the accident.
