With unprecedented quietness, Toyota Motor Corporations reaches a settlement with the families of four people who got killed in a car crash.

According to the automaker’s Spokesman, the deal was settled on a confidential level, and therefore none of the parties of the deal were licensed to reveal any of the information regarding this deal. However, the Spokesman revealed that the President of the Company himself directed the negations with the two families.

The accident included the death of Mark Saylor, a Highway Patrol Officer, Cleofe Lastrella, his wife, Mahala, their 13-year-old daughter and Chris Lastrella, his brother-in-law.

The families, Saylor and Lastrella, filed law suits for product liability claims, as they knew that the cause of the accident was that the brakes inside a Lexus ES stopped working and the accelerator pedal got trapped, due to, what later was found to be a malfunction, or a floor mat that has not been properly installed.

Brian R. Lyons said that the deal between Toyota and the two families was “an amicable agreement in mediation that fully resolves their product liability claims against Toyota and a Lexus dealership. Through mutual respect and cooperation, we were able to resolve this matter without the need for litigation".
