The driver of a Toyota Rav-4 who crashed her vehicle into a Yarmouth, Massachusetts doctor’s office on Tuesday says the accident was not her fault. Her vehicle had supposedly been repaired as part of the Toyota recall, but several drivers have reportedly accelerator problems even after their vehicles were fixed.
The 70-year-old driver, who apparently has a flawless driving record, told her son she put her foot on the brake pedal and the vehicle accelerated into the building. Then she reportedly looked down after the car accident and her foot was still on the brake. She suffered minor injuries and back pain, but no one inside the doctor’s office was injured.
Authorities are still investigating the cause of the motor vehicle accident.
