Noriko Uno was driving to the bank when she hit another car at an intersection. The impact, according to a lawsuit against Toyota Motor Corp., caused her 2006 Camry to spin nearly 180 degrees, causing her foot to become wedged between the brake and accelerator pedals.
For the next 35 seconds, Uno, 66, found herself traveling the wrong way down a one-way street, her accelerator pedal stuck in the depressed position. She hit the brakes, but her car accelerated out of control. To avoid oncoming traffic, she swerved off the road toward a wooded median, smashing into two telephone poles and then a large tree. She died instantly.
