What was the real cause of the accident?
In such cases, it is extremely important to determine whether the accident was caused by a defective auto. The vehicle involved in this incident was a Toyota pickup truck. Witnesses state that the driver made no attempt to stop and went speeding right into the bridge support. It might be useful in this case to find out whether the vehicle malfunctioned and whether it was part of the more than 8 million vehicles recalled by Toyota for defective gas pedals or floor mats said to cause sudden or unintended acceleration.
In any case where a vehicle defect is suspected, it is strongly recommended that the victims or their families preserve the vehicle, which is the key piece of evidence for that auto product liability case. A resourceful auto product defect law firm will have the vehicle examined by an expert for evidence of product defects or malfunctions.
