ST. PAUL, Minn. AP – A St. Paul man who insists he did everything he could to stop before his Toyota crashed into another vehicle, killing three people, got support Monday from witnesses who said the same thing happened to them.
Koua Fong Lee, 32, is serving an eight-year prison sentence for multiple convictions related to the 2006 crash, including convictions on two counts of criminal vehicular homicide. He requested a new trial this year after Toyota recalled millions of vehicles because of problems with sudden unintended acceleration. Lee’s attorneys say his 1996 Camry – while it wasn’t part of the recall – may have experienced the same problem.
