The widow of a Nevada delivery driver killed in a company truck last year said Monday she is suing Toyota Motor Corp., alleging that a floor mat wedged against the gas pedal caused the crash.
According to court documents, Kim Levine is seeking damages for herself and her two sons, ages 13 and 6, in the crash of a 2010 Toyota Tacoma that killed her husband, 55 year-old Jeffrey Mark Levine, on December 1. Levine’s attorney, Gerald Gillock, alleged that Toyota quietly advised dealerships in the U.S to inspect Tacoma models for “floor mat pedal entrapment” problems, but did not begin to recall vehicles until later.
“This did not have to happen, Levine said. “A floor mat is such a simple replacement. I’m sure it would just take a few moments.”
