Narrative

On Friday Jan 30 around 3pm, this Rav 4 entered the short drive way in front of the garage. The car stopped, the automatic garage door was engaged. Suddenly, the car advanced, passing through the opening garage door and into and through the back wall of the garage. This is a sustaining way for the second storey. The front of the car displaced the counters inside, demolished the kitchen, almost toppling the fridge. Given the damage to the garage done and the damage inflicted, my interpretation is that an unintended acceleration event occurred. The airbags did not deploy. My wife, [XXX] , was driving at the time and was alone in the car. The air bags did not deploy Significant damage was done to the kitchen. And because the wall was a sustaining wall, there was serious damage to the support beams throughout the house. Estimate is $118,770 plus $30,000 for the repair work in the attic. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)
