The Winchester (TN) Herald Chronicle reports an accident involving a 2008 Kia on New Year’s eve left a woman and twin 7-year-old boys dead due to unintended sudden acceleration, which proved unstoppable. Meanwhile, in Ontario, Calif., “a Toyota Yaris slammed into another vehicle, killing five people, including a 7-year old boy who was a passenger in the Yaris. The driver of the Yaris is reportedly cooperating with investigators and indicated the vehicle’s brakes were not responding, and the accelerator seemed stuck down.” The NHTSA has agreed to look into both accidents.
