Troopers announced Monday that they were blaming the deadly crash of a Toyota Camry in western Utah on a sticky gas pedal, the same problem that led the world's largest automaker to recall the car for repairs early this year. The 2008 Camry slammed into a rock wall near the Nevada border on Nov. 5, killing the driver and a passenger. The vehicle was the subject of three recalls, most recently for an accelerator that can get stuck in the open position.
"The Utah Highway Patrol believes, based on witness statements and examination of the vehicle, that the accident was caused by a stuck accelerator pedal," said Utah Highway Patrol Trooper Todd Johnson about the accident investigation.
