The contact's client owns a 2020 Honda Accord. The contact stated that while his client was driving at about 45 MPH, the vehicle inadvertently accelerated on his own, drove off the road and drove down in a steep embankment, hit 8-9 fence posts, ramped up over the driveway of the embankment, and crashed into a tree. The contact did not know whether the air bags deployed. The contact's client sustained severe injuries including broken bones. The contact's little brother who was in a forward-facing child seat in the rear driver's side seat was pronounced dead at the scene. A police report was filed. The contact's client and her brother were transported to the hospital by emergency services. The vehicle was towed to a garage where it was totaled. The dealer and manufacturer were not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was unknown.
