Consumer Description

2007 SCION TC SET ON CRUISE AT 70 MPH CRASHED INTO GUARDRAIL ON HIGHWAY. MY SON WAS DRIVING AND HE DOES NOT REMEMBER THE CAUSE OF THE ACCIDENT BUT STATE POLICE ACCIDENT RECONSTRUCTION CLAIM CAR HIT THE GUARDRAIL AT A SPEED IN EXCESS OF 100 MPH UPON CRASH. CRASH SEVERELY INJURED MY SON AND KILLED HIS CHILDHOOD FRIEND. TWO THINGS ARE KNOWN FOR CERTAIN, DRIVER CLAIMS CAR WAS ON CRUISE AND ACCIDENT REPORT STATES SPEED OVER 100 MPH. THE CRASHES ON THESE CARS ARE OVERLOOKED BECAUSE MOSTLY TEENAGERS AND YOUNG ADULTS ARE BUYING THEM AND OFFICIALS AND INSURANCE COMPANIES BLAME ACCIDENTS ON DRIVER INEXPERIENCE. *TR
